NAME IMS CONSULTING GROUP LOCATION WEST COAST EMPLOYEES 525 NATURE OF BUSINESS IMS Consulting Group (“IMSCG”) is a leading global strategy consulting firm and a part of IMS Health. The parent company provides critical data to the pharmaceutical industry, medical device makers, government agencies, and other companies in the healthcare sector. IMS Health tracks not only the sale of prescription drugs and over-the-counter products, but also the productivity of individual sales representatives that work for its clients companies. Founded in 1954, the company has over 5,000 clients, 8,700 employees, and operates in more than 100 countries. Focused entirely on life sciences, IMSCG’s clients range from large pharmaceutical and biotech companies

to growth-stage businesses preparing for their first launch. Since 2002, IMSCG has been further enhanced by the acquisition of several pharma consultancies. These acquisitions enhanced IMSCG’s capabilities in business strategy, strategic market development, pricing and reimbursement, and strategic management of R&D.

With global reach and unparalleled access to data, IMSCG is a standout firm in the healthcare/pharma industry. Their shared dedication to improving healthcare gives a common sense of purpose to collaborate with clients, break barriers, develop new and sustainable models, and create a long-term impact on the

evolving healthcare market. The firm assists clients in three key areas: Pricing and Market Access, Brand and Commercial Strategy, and Strategy and Portfolio Analysis.

The Pricing & Market Access (P&MA) Center of Excellence has been working with clients to optimize portfolio and product level access on a global scale for more than two decades. They bring deep expertise and unique methodologies to inform decisions about optimizing a treatment's potential from trial design to reimbursement submissions to lifecycle management and even to partnering. They have pioneered new

ways of creating and supporting value including evidence development, innovative pricing, tactical contracting and segmentation, and RWE plans, as well as emerging market expansion, and biosimilar strategies.

Pricing and Market Access (P&MA) will play an increasingly central role within commercialization, reacting to the environment, but also preparing for the future. In many ways, P&MA has become a mediator of commercial investment, and in numerous organizations, has a growing influence in commercial strategy design and execution. It is a central gear in a large and connected machine that enables the life sciences

industry to continue to evolve. As a global leader, IMSCG will need to leverage its strategic voice, build and communicate value by linking science to customers, and power through the industry during these challenging times.

Companies of all sizes, with products in all stages of development, choose to work with IMSCG due to a differentiated understanding of global healthcare and commercialization. Their depth of expertise across commercial functions, presence in local markets across five continents, and privileged access to IMS data enables IMSCG to deliver a strategic offering that is unmatched.

Individuals joining IMSCG are assured of a rewarding career in life sciences consulting; replete with opportunities to address diverse and challenging client problems, travel on cross-geography projects, interact with senior client leaders, and gain exposure to a truly multi-cultural, collegial, and collaborative work environment. Due to the overarching IMS company structure, it is not uncommon for top-performing

consulting executives to move into general management roles inside of the overall IMS Health group. This distinguished career path is a unique offering in the professional services industry.

A link to the report is http://goo.gl/uXTX7 ______________________________________________________________ Susan Caldwell wrote an article regarding writing a resume as well.

“10 Tips for Creating a Door-Opening Resume” by Susan E Caldwell If you're a medical writer, how can you make sure that you still have work in these tough economic times? Important for staff and freelancers alike, marketing your name and abilities can be done in many ways. One way is to develop and maintain a living

resume that speaks to the best you have to offer employers. As an experienced worker, you likely have a professional reputation. Maybe it's good, or maybe it's not so good. How can you enhance or improve your resume so that your

best shines through? Here are a few suggestions: 1. Resume Format. Your resume's format should be simple and pleasing to the eye. Because resumes are often input into databases, the simpler the format, the better. Using a simple format should help avoid

the need to reformat before your resume is uploaded into a database. When you submit your resume to a recruiter or job board, you should submit it as a Microsoft Word file, but without special formatting. Avoid bullets, bolding, italics, indents, and other formatting that are lost in plain text files. If you do use special formatting, your resume may look like alphabet soup after it's put in a database.

Organize your resume in sections, each with a heading that tells the reader what is in that section. Here are some sections typically found in resumes and their approximate order of appearance: Introduction or Career Goal Summary

Work History or Professional Accomplishments (if candidate has work history) Academic Background Skills Honors and Awards

Publications There are many variations on the organization and section labels listed above, and you should use what is appropriate for your career stage. Points 7-10 (below) specifically address what content should be included in some of your resume's major sections.

When you are ready to format your resume, consider looking at the many examples of resumes available online. Seeing the structures of other resumes may help you decide on your own resume's format and organization.

2. Job Targeting. Decide what your target job or assignment is, and tailor your resume to that job. How do you do that? For one thing, you can pepper your resume with the key concepts, terms, and abbreviations for your target job in your resume; this will show that you know the language in that field. Examples include the terms ICH

Guidelines, investigator brochure (IB), style guide, and eCTD. Another way to target your resume is to rewrite portions of your resume to match the target job description. This strategy sounds like a lot of work, but it can pay huge dividends. When you submit a targeted resume, it's more likely you will be considered a great match for the position.

6/28/2015 42

3. Resume Emphasis. Emphasize your best accomplishments (for example, an approved eCTD submission that you worked on). Make it clear that you got the job done in an effective way, particularly if it saved time or money. You can do this by positioning these stellar achievements toward the resume's front, writing more about those accomplishments, and/or including specific comments about them in your resume. If there's a web site or information on the web that illustrates or supplements information about your accomplishment, link that information to your resume. 4. Lying on Your Resume. This one is simple: don't lie on your resume. It's a bad idea for several reasons. Not only is it wrong, but if you exaggerate or lie, you may be in over your head if you do get the job. In addition, employers do check resume facts, and they are likely to identify any lies or inconsistencies. 5. Errors in Your Resume. If you're seeking a new job or contract assignment, your resume should be flawless. That is, it should have no typos, misspellings, incorrect grammar, or other writing errors. If you want to open the door to a job interview, show the reader that you are careful about your writing. As a

medical writer, the writing that appears in your resume will be the first writing sample an employer sees. Be sure that it will stand up to scrutiny. 6. Resume as Living Document. Ensure that your resume is always current and well crafted; it should

be a living document. Update it every time you have new material to add to it. Again, the resume's purpose is to get your foot in the door for an interview. If you don't keep your resume current, you may miss a chance to include vital information, especially if you need it on short notice. For this reason, you should always be ready to send your resume to recruiters or employers on a moment's notice.

The remaining points in this article address issues within your resume's sections: 7. Summary. At the start of your resume, include a short (usually 1 to 2 paragraphs) thumbnail

summary of your work experience and academic background. It's also appropriate to have a statement that tells the reader what you want to do in your next job. 8. Academic Background. The academic background section should include your earned degrees, the name of the institution where you earned the degree, and the

dates when they were conferred. If you have earned an advanced degree, this section may be a good place to list the title of your thesis or dissertation, if any. (Alternatively, your dissertation's citation can be included in your resume's Publications section.)

A separate section following your academic background can include the continuing education and training courses you've taken. The list should include the subject matter (or course title) and date(s) when you had the training. And here's an important tip: whenever possible, include specific dates for the education

and training. The dates add to your credibility, and their absence can be conspicuous. As you advance in your career, your academic background generally becomes less important than your work history. After you have a work history, especially in medical writing, consider moving the academic

background information in your resume to a location following your work history. 9. Work History or Professional Achievements. In this section of your resume, include specific details about your work history. The reverse chronological work history format often works well, with your most

recent job listed first. The work history section should describe your milestone accomplishments for each job or contract assignment. As with the academic background section, include the start and stop dates for the jobs and/or contract work that you've done. The dates will give you added credibility. 10. Publications. If you've authored any publications, put a list of them in your resume with the full

citations in a consistent reference format. For publications with multiple authors, you should include all of the authors' names in the order that they appeared in the publication. Finally, try to get access to electronic copies of your publications on the internet. Consider hyperlinking those citations in your resume

6/28/2015 43

to the actual articles. In so doing, your reader can easily find and read examples of your work. You can also prepare a set of publication samples as a zipped file to provide to prospective employers. Done well, your resume will open many doors for you, including some you may want to walk through. There are many resources on the internet that will help you create an excellent resume. Take the time to use them, too! You'll be glad you did.

Susan E. Caldwell a local medical writer shares some insights into finally mastering touch typing. As writers, we must type to do our work, at least if we're using Microsoft Word or other word processor. Many writers become writers without knowing how to touch type (typing without looking at the keys). Touch typing at 40-60 average words per

minute, which is industry standard, is roughly 3 to 4 times faster than you can write by hand. The links below are offered so that you can learn and practice touch typing for free (and they aren't presented in any particular order:
