Pharmaceutical Sales: Communicating with Physicians

Why Attend

A thorough understanding of your pharmaceutical company’s target audience is crucial when piecing together a marketable claim. The “one-size-fits-all” approach with physicians may have unfavorable effects on the pharma-physician relationship in an era where doctors are short on time while being flooded with massive amounts of data. As many promotional activities and messaging by the pharmaceutical industry do not resonate with their potential customers, it is essential to plan effective methods for approaching physicians in a changing era of medical practice.

This course introduces participants to the basic communication skills required to efficiently and effectively address complex clinical or experimental data with physicians. The expectations of the target audience, good data understanding, and analysis of the clinical trials, and factors influencing treatment choice by physicians will be thoroughly discussed.

Special emphasis will be placed on the most common physician profiles a pharmaceutical representative may interact with as well as potential challenges these profiles pose.
