With 16 sessions specific to Medical Affairs and Scientific Communication, this track will share insights from medical affairs professionals and medical writers across the globe. Sessions within the track will deliver the necessary skills and best practices for working cross-functionally and compliantly.

Highlights in Medical Affairs

  • A focus on patient engagement in medical information
  • New business realities for medical affairs professionals and developing compliant medical communications
  • Deep dives into the role, responsibilities, and technical skills needed for regulatory medical writers to support the drug and device medical product spectrum
  • Featured Topics in Patient Centricity and Career Development

With the emergence of new data sources, comes new questions such as:

  • What are the validity and value of these data to patients?
  • How do we compliantly communicate this information?

To answer these questions and others, industry is seeking input from scientific and medical thought leaders, as well as regulators. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have increased emphasis on the scientific and clinical principles that support business decisions related to product life cycle management. This evolution has led to expanded competencies for Medical Affairs professionals of pharmaceutical companies outside of their traditional clinical, scientific, and technical roles.

DIA recommends this track and associated sessions to professionals involved in: medical writing, medical communications, and medical science liaisons.
