Abstract
Sponsoring a student program for Doctor of Pharmacy candidates is hypothetically mutually beneficial for the student and the organization. However, without concrete evidence, justifying the continuation of such programs may be difficult. The Global Medical Information Department at Eli Lilly and Company investigated the influence of the student program on future recruitment of employees, effects on preceptor and overall employee satisfaction, and the overall expense to the department. We found that 93% of current Lilly employees who completed a pharmacy student rotation at Lilly believe their experience positively influenced their career decision. Fifty-four percent of employees in Global Medical Information and 88% of those serving as preceptors reported an increased overall personal satisfaction in their job as a result of the student program. Although the cost estimation we conducted was very simplistic, we found a positive cost-benefit to the department based on the student program.
