  • KEY FINDINGS
  • VIEW TOC AND LIST OF EXHIBITS
Continuing medical education (CME) programs are intended to update physicians and other health care professionals about the latest medical innovations. However, recent compliance and transparency rules have tempered the sponsorship of some medical education programs by biopharmaceutical companies, as well as some third-party providers of such services.


Best Practices, LLC conducted benchmarking research to inform those who lead medical education programs at large biopharmaceutical companies about the proper size, resourcing, and structure for the medical education function. The study probes emerging Medical Education trends at medical device and pharmaceutical organizations regarding funding and program types.


Industries Profiled:
Biotech; Pharmaceutical; Medical Device; Health Care


Companies Profiled:
Allergan; Astellas; AstraZeneca; Baxter BioScience; Boehringer Ingelheim; Daiichi Sankyo; Medtronic; Pfizer; Siemens Medical

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 11 leaders supporting medical education at 9 leading life sciences and medical device companies. More than 50% of participants are at the level of director/ senior director and around 27% of participants are managers. More than 70% of participants are from the US.

Key Findings

· Medical Education Structure Is Predominantly Centralized:
More than half of the companies centralize their medical education structure; 37% of them have their centralized medical education group in the United States.

· Large Companies Expect Increase In The Number Of Field Based Educators:

While majority of pharma participants (66%) foresee no change in staffing of field based educators in the coming two years, more than a quarter of participants do expect the staffing to increase.
