Course overview

Medical information is an important and key element of drug safety. This programme has been designed for individuals and teams that answer medical enquiries as part of their daily work, as well as new medical information specialists who are starting a career in medical information. The course will go through some important basic aspects and explain the legal requirements for a Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) to offer a medical information service in Europe. It will give practical information on how to provide an efficient medical service with linkage to other areas such as marketing, regulatory and drug safety.
