First week of work was interesting. Lots of reading but interesting. This time when I was reading SOPs and all the T&Qs, I was more into it and understood much more than last year when I was at Purdue. I liked the training program at Novopharm and I think the structure of everything in detail is fascinating. Novopharm is a big company with ~1500 people. It was bought by Teva, and became the largest pharmaceutical generic company in the world. I guess that's why there was so much thought in the production of the documentation and guidlines. Well I have seen them in Quality Control,Planning and Logistic groups. I am blessed to be part of the largest company in the world:) The first day, I found one of my classmates at U of T there and we are going for breaks together. People are friendly and apparantly I have won the QC lottary!!According to everyone in the department I have got the best supervisor and group out of the 16 supervisors in our department. Consider yourself very fortunate, my trainer said to me. I enjoyed exploring the company last week and can't wait to start working. The only thing that concerns me is the toxicity of some of those drugs. Novopharm is known for Penicillin at one of their facilities that is only dedicated for production. But our sight we have tons of different Vitamins, Antibiotics, Cancer treatment drugs as well as lots of over counter and pet drugs. Weekend was fun. My friend and I participated in College puzzle challange by Microsoft and tried to solve some puzzles:)and today hopefully is reflection and relaxing time and getting ready for tomorrow for another great adventure at Novopharm.
