Our Class Officers organized a Class Trip to Puerto Rico. Around 70 third year pharmacy students flew out of a snow covered Baltimore to sunny San Juan. In addition to soaking up the sun and hiking to waterfalls, we visited Eli Lilly. Puerto Rico is the 5th largest area in the world for pharmaceutical manufacturing (after the US, UK, Japan and France) with over 80 plants! The pharmaceutical companies originally came to Puerto Rico in the late 1960s and '70s to take advantage of a federal tax incentive. The tax incentive, Section 936, is now expired. Puerto Rico produces 16 of the top 20-selling drugs in mainland US
