Connie Li
@connieli
Pharm.D. candidate and licensed pharmacist focused on clinical pharmacotherapy and pharmaceutical industry strategy.
What I'm looking for
I am a Pharm.D. candidate with hands-on experience across hospital, outpatient, regulatory, and industry settings, committed to optimizing patient outcomes and advancing pharmaceutical development. My clinical rotations included neuro-ICU care, oncology, diabetes management, and ambulatory pharmacy practice, where I regularly proposed pharmacologic interventions and adjusted complex therapies.
I have contributed to regulatory and clinical development projects at the FDA and a biopharma company, producing analyses, presentations, and an ASCO abstract that informed labeling and competitive strategy. I also built clinical programs and operational workflows, such as a Weight Loss Patient Care Program and SOPs for graft-versus-host disease management aligned to NCCN standards.
I bring strong communication and leadership skills demonstrated through student organization roles and public-facing content creation, and I hold certifications in BLS, HIPAA, bloodborne pathogens, immunization delivery, and managed care fundamentals.
