A Doctor’s Career Path

Becoming a doctor is the dream of many young people in the United States and the world. Only the best and brightest become doctors, and to work with people to save their lives is one of the most prestigious jobs in our society today. Becoming a doctor takes extensive education and training, and even then you may not have what it takes. Here are the five steps to becoming a doctor:

Earn a Bachelor’s Degree. The first step to becoming a doctor is completing a pre-medical degree. Classes involved in this degree include Organic Chemistry, Anatomy, Chemistry, and Biology. It’s important to keep your Grade Point Average high when taking these very difficult classes because you’ll need good grades and test scores to get into medical school.
Take the MCAT. The Medical College Admission Test is where many aspiring doctors fail. Competition for admission into one of the prestigious medical schools in the US is fierce. The MCAT, a standardized, multiple-choice test determines who can attend these schools.
Medical School. Graduating from medical school takes more than passing grades. It is often a highly-competitive environment where many qualified, would-be doctors fail out or are passed over. Graduating usually takes four years, the last two of which are spent in a residency.
Earn a License. Every state requires all doctors to pass another exam and obtain a license. The process is usually split between medical school and a residency.
Complete your residency. Doctorate candidates are required to complete a paid residency, usually at a hospital. These residencies can take up to eight years.

RapiMed - The Quick Dissolving Medication

RapiMed is a pharmaceutical and over-the-counter oral delivery method that uses “quick-melt technology.” The medication dissolves in the patient’s mouth in thirty seconds or less. This allows children to take this medication without having to swallow a pill or take the pill with water. RapiMed technology has been applied to many different drugs throughout the biopharmaceutical landscape.

RapiMed’s distributor, ScripsAmerica plans on basing a series of products on RapiMed’s technology. Starting with children’s Tylenol, the RapiMed system has already helped many parents around the United States administer medicine to their children in a painless fashion. RapiMed will soon be featured by ScripsAmerica and other distributors around the country in many other medications. Soon, RapiMed technology will be used in the making of new vitamins, over-the-counter medications, and generic pharmaceutical products. With help from ScripsAmerica and other distributors, this technology will be commonplace at drugstores and in doctor’s offices throughout the United States very soon. Because ScripsAmerica already has a direct downline distribution lane, RapiMed will soon be available to almost everyone in the United States.

S. Michael Imperiale Jr. MD is on the Auditing Committee of ScripsAmerica and says that RapiMed is one product that the entire company is excited about. Imperiale says that over his long career in the pharmaceutical industry, he has never been more excited about a delivery system as versatile and useful as RapiMed. Imperiale was formerly the Senior Director of Medical Sciences at Nuvelo, Inc., where he was the clinical lead and strategist for the oncology program.

Working With Regulators - How to Keep Your Ship Afloat

If you have a company that is subject to federal or state regulations (more so than other companies) such as a pharmaceutical company or transportation company, you will have more contact with investigators and inspectors than the vast majority of other companies. Because of this, you will likely need a department within the company that works directly with these inspectors and other agents of the state so that you are in full compliance with the law. Getting caught cutting corners and skipping federal and state regulation is much more costly than taking the initiative to ensure compliance. In some cases, the fines and other sanctions imposed on businesses for infractions are less costly than the damage done to the company’s reputation.
　　　　
Ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations should be a high priority for any company, especially those with many regulations, such as those that produce prescription and over-the-counter drugs or food products. Regulators ensure that the public is safe consuming your product. It’s your job to ensure that your product is safe for people to consume and to keep your company out of the tabloids. Many companies devote entire departments to maintaining good standing within the public eye.

Food Chemistry

Cooking and Chemistry are two areas of discipline that have a surprising amount of overlap. If you want to become a chemist in the kitchen, it is critical to have the right tools, such as measuring cups and spoons, a timer, a thermometer, and a kitchen scale. Some people view cooking as a science and concedes there is an art to its presentation. They are meant to provide the cook with a specific and repeatable outcome that has been perfected by someone else.

All it takes to follow a recipe is the ability to follow instructions. The ingredients, measurements, and instructions that constitute a recipe are written documentation, just the sort of written documentation that he would expect to find in a research paper, or from the scientists in the best research labs. The better quality these tools, he says, then the better the results are going to be. But for consistent results in the kitchen, he says that it is best to consider the chemical processes that are going on, on both the stove top and in the oven. Understanding some basic scientific principles when it comes to cooking is bound to improve any cook, whether they are cooking for themselves or their family or whether they are professionals. All of this starts with the simple recipe.

Pharmacy - The Chain of Supply

ScripsAmerica markets through mass merchants, supermarkets, chain and independent drug stores, hospitals, long-term care, clinics, and State and Federal Government agencies such as the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Department of Defense. Every day, new drugs are being approved by Federal regulators and coming onto the market.

But in order for them to be successful products he says they need to be effective and have a demonstrated value. If a company can show that there is value for their pharmaceuticals, then it is likely to succeed. Keeping track of all of the legal medications in the United States is a challenging task, and the pharmaceutical supply chain must be safeguarded at all times.

Those companies in the industry such as ScripsAmerica support the development of track and trace systems that use encoded data to quickly provide the essential information about a drug product. Track and trace systems can include such data as the lot number and serial number of drugs, along with its strength and its expiration date. Referred to as RxTec, it provides a balance between the security needs of the pharmaceutical supply chain and the technological and financial obstacles inherent with establishing new security measures.

S. Michael Imperiale Jr., M.D. is a very dedicated member of the Audit Committee at ScripsAmerica, Inc., a provider of strong and low-cost national marketing, sales and distribution of generic and branded pharmaceuticals. He is a supporter of the Pharmaceutical Traceability Enhancement Code, which was introduced by the Pharmaceutical Distribution Security Alliance.

S. Michael Imperiale Jr M.D. - The Basics of Cooking

Believe it or not cooking is a scientific process. That doesn't' mean there isn't room for freestyle, but some of the basic scientific principles can help improving your cooking and give you the freedom to freestyle based on those standards. There are several types of different cooks that can whip up a meal without any direction and then there are cooks who need a recipe. Neither approach is faulted so long as you understand the basic elements. The ingredients, measurements, and instructions that constitute a recipe are written documentation. This recipe is just the sort of roadmap that you would expect to find in a research paper, a sales gameplay, or even an American football playbook. They are designed to provide the chef with a specific and repeatable outcome that has been perfected by an expert.

If you have a coachable and open minded personality, then you can follow the instructions and make an excellent meal. You will also need the best tools such as measuring spoons, measuring cups, a thermometer, quality knives, a timer, utensils and a kitchen scale.

S. Michael Imperiale Jr M.D. - The Medical Supply Chain

Medications are delivered from the manufacturer to patients by way of the pharmaceutical supply chain. As S., The pharmaceuticals originate at the manufacturing site and are later moved to wholesale distributors. Next up, they are stocked in various types of pharmacies and then dispensed by pharmacists and health care professionals. At the end of this chain is the patient who gets a high-quality product that has been tested and approved. Also, through the process they are subject to price negotiations while also being processed through quality and utilization management screens.

This architecture would be the standard model of distribution but, of course, there are many variations that can quickly change in that basic structure. Sometimes you have to be able to adapt to regulations and standards. Of course, there are only a few multinational firms that manufacture pharmaceuticals. This fact is measured by sales in the United States, and they account for about sixty percent of total sales. The entire wholesale distribution industry has consolidated in recent years. Today there are fewer than fifty of them in operation.

S. Michael Imperiale Jr M.D. - Global Responsibility

S. Michael Imperiale Jr M.D. knows that it is an arduous process to get new therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA and its Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, or CDER, ensures that the drugs marketed in the United States are safe and effective, and that they are labeled in accordance with what they are to be used for. The CDER conducts only limited research in the areas of drug quality, safety, and effectiveness, but does not do complete testing of new drugs.

As S. Michael Imperiale Jr M.D. knows, the CDER is the largest of the FDA's six centers, and is responsible for prescription and over-the-counter drugs alike. The other five are responsible for medical and radiological devices, food and cosmetics, and other products.

It is the responsibility of the company trying to get a new drug to market to get it approved by the FDA, S.

S. Michael Imperiale Jr M.D. | FDA Approval

S. Michael Imperiale Jr M.D. sits on the Board at ScripsAmerica, a provider of a strong and low-cost system for the national marketing, sale, and distribution of generic and branded pharmaceuticals. He is also an Executive Director of Medical Affairs for Dohmen Life Sciences and previously was Senior Director at BioMarin, a company that develops innovative new medicines for people with serious and unmet medical needs.

The FDA is an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, and as S. Michael Imperiale Jr M.D. also knows, its approval process for new drugs is divided into two stages: the preapproval period, and the post approval period. The progression begins even before a new pharmaceutical is presented to the FDA for approval, when a company's scientists do the laboratory research to develop and test the drug, and the company develops a prototype. Only then does the company begin the approval process, which it does by way of what is called an Investigational New Drug application.

From there the new drug enters a clinical trial phase, and the manufacturer compiles data and analysis in a new drug application. Once the application is before the FDA it is reviewed for safety and effectiveness, whether its proposed labeling is appropriate, and the adequacy of its manufacturing methods. S. Michael Imperiale Jr says it can be a lengthy process, but is important in order to safeguard the public health.
