" Medical Information is a necessary activity for drugs and medical devices marketed by pharmaceutical companies to be used safely and effectively," explained Patricia Ortega and María Delgado, from business Meisys, at the first 'Spotlight' on Medical Information of the Master's Degree at management of Pharma-Biotech Companies. 

The course, given by one of the most renowned companies in the medical information area , took place on October 14 and 15 at the University of Navarra's Campus in Madrid. One of its main objectives was to bring the reality of the sector closer to the students, who come from various scientific and healthcare disciplines.

According to the teachers, Medical Information Technicians play a strategic role in corporations, as they must provide reliable, accurate, balanced, updated and impartial information on the company's products to health professionals, public administrations and patients or consumers, "collaborating in the safe and effective use of medicines and medical devices". 

A professional approach

The 'Focused' courses are monographic courses on current topics or topics of special interest taught by executives and professionals with extensive experience in the sector. The Master's Degree aims to cover all areas of interest in the industry and, to this end, is in continuous search of partnership with other companies.

During the course, students participate in three 'Focuses', where they approach the reality of the sector, learn about the experience of professionals and the application internship of knowledge. They also network in different areas of interest. 

In the next 'Enfocado', to be held on November 26, Antonio Fernández, Director, NBD and Government Affairs at Janssen, will discuss Market Access in depth.
