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.
