Operations Management Development Program

The Operations Management Development Program (OMDP) within McKesson Pharmaceutical allows new college graduates to obtain a breadth of experience in distribution operations while building interpersonal and team skills through a well planned nine-month rotational training program and individually designed professional development plan.

OMDP Rotational Assignments
After a thorough orientation, participants of the OMDP begin a functional and cross-functional rotational  training program in the following core areas:

After successfully completing the rotational training program, participants will interview for open entry-level supervisor positions across the United States within the Pharmaceutical Group’s distribution center network.  Relocation within the U.S. should be expected upon successful completion of the training but we will work with you to make the transition as easy as possible.
