From the Family Pharmacy in the Netherlands to B-School at IMD

This interview is the latest in an Accepted.com blog series featuring interviews with MBA students, offering readers a behind-the-scenes look at top MBA programs. And now, introducing Marije van Weelden-Cuche, an alumna of IMD†¦ Accepted: Wed like to get to know you! Where are you from? Where and what did you study as an undergrad? Do you hold any other degrees? Marije: Growing up in a family Pharmacy in the Netherlands, I have always been intrigued by health care. When it came to choosing my studies it was a no brainer for me that I would study medicine. Throughout my studies I learned that even though I loved treating patients and knowing about diseases, the exposure to our family pharmacy had also infected me with a business virus. Upon completion of my Medical Degree, I therefore went to the London School of Economics to do an MSc in Health Economics, with the objective of joining the pharmaceutical industry. Afterwards, I worked for large international companies like GlaxoSmithKline and Astellas and had great opportunities to make a difference, for example in Astellas by establishing the Health Economics / Market Access function in Astellas’ RD organization†¦and yet the business virus kept popping up. I was therefore very excited to join IMD’s class of 2010 to do my MBA. Accepted: What was your favorite thing about IMD? Marije: One thing that is my favorite thing about IMD? That’s a tough question! If I really have to pick one, I would choose the so-called Leadership Stream. That definitely was the most valuable part of the year for me. We had coaching sessions and 20 individual sessions with a psycho-analyst (technically this is an elective), in which we reflected on our own behavior and that of our team mates. We also had a full outdoor day where we did team exercises while being observed by a coach. This turned out to be a very effective method where I learned how I can be most effective as a leader in one-on-one and group situations. This is still useful in my professional life every day. Accepted: If you could change one thing about the program, what would it be? Marije: As I recently said to a friend: â€Å"I have ridiculously few complaints about IMD, I would have enjoyed even more attention to the leadership stream, but other than that, I really think the program is very valuable as it is!† Accepted: Which other MBA programs had you considered when applying to b-school? Why did you choose IMD? How did the international reputation and its rankings play into your decision? Marije: I had no doubt that if I would do an MBA, I wanted to do so at a good school, so reputation and rankings were my first selection criteria to narrow down the number of schools. Having done my review of comparative schools in Europe, I quickly selected IMD as my only target due to the above mentioned Leadership Stream. In addition, the relatively small sized, â€Å"hand-picked† class, resulting in a large diversity of MBA candidates from a geographical professional perspective appealed to me. I was not disappointed. My classmates had many years of experience in a wide range of fields (from diplomacy to civil engineering) and were able to bring valuable real-world perspectives into the classroom, making the learning go way beyond the business cases. Accepted: What is your current job? What role did IMD play in helping you secure that position? Marije: I work for one of the top pharmaceutical companies in Switzerland. I collaborate with the head of Europe on the pricing strategy for our products and I am responsible for ensuring that the evidence that supports our products is presented in such a way that we can clearly demonstrate that the price we ask is fair and in relation to the value of our products. My MD and MSc gave me a strong scientific background which helped me launch my career in the RD side of the pharmaceutical industry. IMD’s focus on leadership as well as the tools and language of business made that I became more effective in the interactions with the people I work with. I can target my messages differently, such that they resonate best with for example the finance manager, the global head of commercial or the general manager of the UK. This ultimately makes that I am more efficient and more effective at what I do. Accepted: Clinical medicine is so different from business, do you ever miss it? Marije: No I don’t! I actually love the combination of business and science. In my work, I use my knowledge of being a Medical Doctor every day. Moreover, by working on drugs across Europe, I am able to provide benefits to patients on a much larger scale than that I could if I would still work in a hospital. I also found that business and medicine are closer related than one would think at first sight. The tools that I learned in medicine help me to effectively address business issues. The best doctors are those who diagnose people quickly and prescribe the most effective therapy. The best business executive is one who is able to diagnose problems quickly and who applies the most effective mitigation†¦ Accepted: Looking back at the MBA application process, what would you say was your greatest challenge? How would you advise others facing similar challenges? Marije: I felt that I had relevant experience as well as the drive and energy that could make me a valuable participant in IMD’s class of 2010, so I had good hopes of being accepted if I were invited to the interview day. Therefore, I saw writing the application essays as my biggest challenge. It really helped me to start early. I remember having countless discussions with anyone who would be willing to share their thoughts on my draft answers. I drafted several responses for each question and reworked them until I felt that each question had a strong and clear answer that reflected my personality. Accepted: Do you have any other tips for our readers? Marije: Invest in your MBA. And by invest, I don’t mean the finance. I mean give it all you have. You might find that if for example you have a background in Finance, you will have some free time when your colleagues study for that part of the program. Use that time to do something that is valuable to you. You could do research a topic of particular interest to you with the excellent faculty that is available to you, or you could create a special interest group with your classmates that target the same industry in their job search. It may be a clichà ©, but the more you put in, the more you will get out! For one-on-one guidance on your b-school application, please see our MBA Application Packages.

Prevention Of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - 2031 Words

â€Å"Prevention of PTSD in Soldiers Returning from Afghanistan/Iraq† seeks to discuss the correct treatments and solutions to prevent this disorder. The starting point of the discursion is the definition and actual classification of this disorder, and also the concept of some solutions such as hypnosis as an option, or solution from a cognitive-behavior perspective. The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been really controversial since many years ago now. Nowadays, scientifics and researchers had proposed a series of several pharmacological treatments that may be helpful to reduce the impact of trauma exposure.

It is observed from avoidance behaviors to behaviors both poles of hyperarousal emotional response limit performance of the person in their life or immediately after the event lived. Diagnostic The most widely used instruments for the assessment of symptoms related to PTSD have usually been self-reports, among which we find two types of assessment tools, interviews and questionnaires, inventories and scales. Additionally, today researchers have turned their attention to finding characteristic psychophysiological and neurobiological markers of patients with PTSD. The community-based studies reveal that the overall prevalence of PTSD ranges are between 1 and 14%, explaining this variability by the diagnostic criteria used and the type of population studied. (Norris, F., Slone, L., 2013). In studies of individuals at risk (eg, war veterans, victims of volcanic eruptions or terrorist attacks) can be found prevalence rates ranging from 3 to 58%. It is estimated that amounts to 40 percent in very violent neighborhoods. Treatment Treatment of PTSD has always been difficult and complex,

The Black Rat - 915 Words

The Plague The black rat originated in Asia in the Mongolian Empire. They were wild borrowing animals who hosted the microorganism Yersinia pestis, which was natural disease in the wild borrowing animal’s population. Humans and these animals did not cross paths until the development of roads crossing through the domain of the rats. Following the onset of the leprosy scare throughout Europe, another deadlier infection was about to change their perspective on life and the world. The Church held the most power over the monarchs and peasant people life, alike, during the leprosy endemic, but at the start of a new infection they would lose their power vary rapidly as it came to be. Just as the Church lost it power and influence different churches emerged from the plague as did other lasting societal impacts. The plague ravaged through Europe and destroyed their current way of life and inflicting societal changes that are still present today. The first to come into contact with Y. pestis were the Mongolian people, whose empire expanded throughout most of Asia. To expand their empire they crossed the plains where the animals lived and contracted the disease by way of fleas. This deadly infection took a toll on the Mongolian army as they were fighting to claim Caffa, a port city. When retreating, the army lobbed their dead over the walls and this started the major movement of the Y. pestis infection to Europe and other surrounding countries.

Children and Culture Essay - 1138 Words

Children and Culture As children we are automatically taught to be open-minded. We are taught not to stare at people which teaches us not to be disrespectful to one another. Also we are taught to respect and be kind to everyone regardless. As kids we are still untouched by he worlds ways of thinking and if we unattached our self’s from someone that’s of a different race it’s because we cant relate to them and we sill dont know how to handle ourselves in different situations.

Analyzing Search Engines Essay Example For Students

Analyzing Search Engines Essay 1. Formulate five criteria for the evaluation of search enginesTo effectively evaluate three different search engines from the perspective of an advanced web user, the following criteria were established:1. Relevance and accuracy of search results2. Search speed3. Advanced search options4. Other services5. Site design and layoutMore information about these criteria and how they were used is available below. 2. Test three search engines against your criteriaFor this evaluation, the following three search engines were tested:1. AltaVista http://www.altavista.com/2. Google http://www.google.com/3. DirectHit http://www.directhit.com/3. Explain your methodologyThe criteria outlined in Part 1 were reached by considering the things that would be important to an advanced user. Of course, factors like Relevance and Speed are critical to such a user (particularly in a work environment). The search options criteria is particularly important to advanced users who are after a specific page and do not want to waste time wading through results from a standard search. The other criteria are important to most users and mean that the search engines are more usable and useful. The search results from the three test search engines (Part 2) were evaluate according the criteria, explained it more detail below. Criteria 1 Relevance and Accuracy of ResultsThis criterion was to evaluate the usefulness of a particular search engine according to the accuracy of its results. I defined the relevance, according to personal standards, after browsing the pages in the results, for three separate search terms. The Relevance Percentage is calculated by counting the number of relevant pages that appear in the first 20 search hits and then multiplying by 20 (for a percentage). Criteria 2 Search SpeedThis criterion was to evaluate which of the test search engines returns results quicker. However, it is important to note that the speed test is both a test of the Internet connection to the remote machine, as well as the time taken by the search engine to perform the search. Furthermore, tests of Internet speeds are very variable based on time of day, other internet traffic etc and are therefore of only limited accuracy. For this reason, no hard numbers were calculated (ie timed searches). Instead, I rated each search engine based on 5 searches per engine at the same time, same day. The possible Speed Ratings are as follows: Excellent, Good, PoorCriteria 3 Search OptionsThis criteria was to evaluate the search engines advanced search options. This is important for advanced web users because it allows them to track down specific pages, and weed out irrelevant pages from their searches, meaning they find the most relevant pages quickly. In evaluating this criteria, the three test search engines were tested to see if they had the following search options:Variable number of results per pageSearch for phrasesBoolean Searches (AND, OR, NOT)Wildcard (*) searchesSearch for text in only title or bodySearch for pages in different languagesSearch for pages located in specific countriesSearch for pages under a certain domainSearch for pages containing links to a URL (eg link:http://www.yahoo.com/)Search for pages LIKE a certain page (eg like:http://www.yahoo.com/)The number of search options each search engine had available was calculated and then recorded out of 10. Criteria 4 Additional ServicesThis criteria was to evaluate the other services offered by the search engine to make web searching and browsing easier for advanced users. These features make the search engines more useful and more of a one-stop destination for finding information, including news, sport results, TV guides, weather reports and other information in a start page design to allow the user to easily access the information he needs quickly. These services are particularly relevant to the advanced and regular web users because they use the web frequently, making such a page very convenient. .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a , .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .postImageUrl , .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a , .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a:hover , .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a:visited , .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a:active { border:0!important; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a:active , .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u2834faefae4d9a91fcadc1e31d7db40a:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Defines the morality of an action EssayIn evaluating this criteria, the three test search engines were tested to see if they offered the following additional services/features:Online shopping guideSuggested searches.

Grusha and my story Essay Example For Students

Grusha and my story Essay Spotlight is on an exhausted and dirty looking woman dressed in rags. She is sitting on a park bench there is a sleeping child of about ten at her feet in a bundle of blankets she is stroking his hair fondly.  Grusha: Someone once said that it takes a village to raise a child, but I did it all by myself. No means of support, but a whole lot of love. Someone else once said that Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist. My name is Grusha and this is my story. Angry Villagers are charging in the direction of a castle, each brandishing a weapon such as a pickaxe, some are carrying torches; they overturn everything that lies in their wake leaving a trail of destruction behind them. Upbeat music is playing loudly as they near the castle the music fades, the leader climbs up onto a boulder.   A queen and a servant girl (Grusha) are sitting in a very grand room; the queen is sitting on a throne whereas Grusha has a much harder stool next to a babys crib. The spotlight is on the queen. Grusha holds the baby out to the queen. Queen: Grusha! Take that baby away from me! I told you- I will only hold it in public.  Grusha: Sorry your majesty, I forgot  Queen: Yes, well youre not paid to forget now, are you? Grusha What is that racket?  Grusha runs to the window obediently  Grusha: Well your majesty, it seems there is a riot.  Queen: Pesky Commoners!  They both freeze as words such as KILL or BURN reach them  Queen: It appears to be quite serious. Get me my cloak and some supplies, Im leaving. Grusha: Yes your majesty, what about the baby?  Queen: I cant very well take it now, can I?  Grusha: Youre going to LEAVE the BABY?  The Queen does not reply, she sweeps out of the doorway leaving Grusha holding the baby. Suddenly a pickaxe comes flying through the window, Grusha screams and runs out of the room. A busy market place, Sellers are calling out bargains, A policeman patrols the street. On each pole there is a wanted poster featuring a picture of Grusha or the queen.

The baby is now a child. They are eating some bread and there is some water in a flask. The boy is climbing, he falls over and cuts his arm, he starts screaming.  Grusha: Oh Michael! No!   Michael: (crying) Mummy, it hurts so much.  Grusha: Come on, Well have to get some help.  She carries him into a farmhouse. They bandage him up, meanwhile someone fetches a policeman who arrives before Grusha notices. Policeman: Miss Grusha, Youre under arrest. Im taking you to see the queen. In a courtroom. Grusha is on the left and the queen on the right. The child is in the middle of the two.  Judge Azdak: We are here to determine who will gain custody of young Michael here. The method is simple. You will each take one of Michaels arms and the person who manages to pull Michael away from the other person will win.  When they begin, Grusha lets go because she does not want to hurt Michael.
