Why You Should Attend

In the past, pharma companies were largely fuelled by their own R&D departments developing small-molecule solutions to large patient populations. In that era, sales and marketing took the lead and scientific concerns were very much secondary to promotion.  Medical affairs departments were often a back-office service that made sure the marketing heroes did not let their exuberance for the brand take them too far. 

The Content: Modern Pharma is now facing a new multi-stakeholder and digitalised environment governed by market access hurdles, where the word value influences everything we do. In this new environment, medical affairs departments play a critical role in paving the way for a brand’s commercial success.  Hence this course addresses the need for pharma companies to equip their medical affairs departments with new competencies. 

The Expert: Chris Toller, a physician by education, built a career that has enabled him to work with medical affairs teams all over the world and in just about every therapy area. He has discovered what distinguishes a successful medical affairs executive from the average performer. Apart from being a creative strategic thinker, Chris is an excellent communicator and an inspirational presenter.

Medical Affairs for Modern Pharma is the only available public training course delivered by Chris Toller on this topic.
