- Manufacturing Engineer
- Quality Assurance Engineer
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, one of the key steps to converting the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into the drugs that we are all familiar with is called formulation. This step involves mixing/stabilising the API with a variety of other chemicals, and subjecting it to various physical steps to form pills, tablets, creams, patches, etc. In a nutshell, this course focuses on the various formulation techniques employed by different pharmaceutical manufacturing companies to produce the different types of drug forms that are readily available in the market.
This course has trained me in investigative techniques like root cause analysis, causal factor elimination as well as other soft skills such as communication and collaboration with teammates during case studies.
