Depending on your years of experience in the pharmaceutical, device, and/or diagnostics industry and the functions which you have worked before, you may find some modules more familiar and some would be new. If you are planning to join Medical Affairs, this course will give you a very good perspective about what you are getting into.

Global Medical Director
I was looking for avenues where I can learn more and grow in medical affairs as a medical science liaison. I got the weekly newsletters from ACMA and got curious. I saw some msl colleagues from Asia who were board certified, so I decided to complete the program. The preparatory modules allowed me to learn new things and improve on what I already know regarding medical affairs.

Loved it! Such a great foundation for someone new to pharma. I have a clinical background, so I found the program very helpful. I had the opportunity to meet great people and appreciate the continued online education available. Nothing but good things to say!
