- Whiteboard ideas with colleagues across RS and learn from cross-functional professionals (e.g., medical writers, regulatory strategists, health equity researchers)
- Under the guidance of an experienced RS mentor, execute and present on a project that supports the conduct of consistent, rigorous analyses of RWD, so that the RS team can deliver high-quality RWE solutions to clients
