Two-day training program equips Medical Affairs professionals with skills, knowledge needed to plan and execute successful pharma/MedTech product launch

GOLDEN, CO, UNITED STATES, May 9, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Medical Affairs Professional Society (MAPS) announces faculty and agenda for MAPS Launch Excellence Masterclass, 13-14 June, 2022 in London. See full brochure for details. The immersive, situational-based, two-day training program focuses on key competencies of Medical Affairs launch planning that MAPS deems critical for the success of a biopharmaceutical or MedTech organization's next product launch.

"Through a mix of short presentations, Q&A, expert panel discussion and small working group sessions, the meeting covers launch strategy and execution, evidence generation planning, data dissemination and engagement, and organizational readiness," says meeting co-chair, Emily Howman, Senior Medical Strategy Lead, Envision Pharma Group. "If you're a Medical Affairs professional on a launch planning team, or an executive looking to build your team's launch capabilities while engaging with other industry thought leaders, register today."

By the time a pharma or MedTech organization is ready for product launch, thousands of hours and countless resources have gone into development. Meanwhile, patients are waiting for new treatment options. With a launch plan in place, society, patients and the organization all stand to benefit. Without a plan, even a promising treatment can fail to make an impact. MAPS Launch Excellence MasterClass helps individuals and teams ensure a plan is in place to discover and communicate the real-world benefit and value of emerging drugs, devices and diagnostics.

"After the last couple years, this is a great opportunity to meet with industry peers and expert faculty to discuss the key competencies for the success of your organization's next product launch," says meeting co-chair Arron Mungul, Director, Medical Capabilities (International Markets), BMS.

Whether you’re preparing for your first launch or your 5th – big company or small – Launch Excellence MasterClass will help your team upgrade existing best practices while developing skills that push your organization forward.
