Continuous Professional Development in Medcomms - what, who, how?
Medcomms is a fast-paced industry, that's why it's imperative that medcomms professionals recognise the importance of CPD. CPD is a fundamental component of any profession to help maintain standards for the sector and for individuals to apply focus to their own career development. There has been a lot of focus on CPD for entry-level talent within medcomms over recent years, but what are we doing for our experienced talent? In this session, we discuss the importance of CPD within medcomms and the work being done by the Healthcare Communications Association (HCA) to encourage a focus on CPD throughout career lifecycles. We also hear how the team at IPG Health Medical Communications is providing CPD opportunities for experienced talent through Northstar.
