Evolution of Roles and Talent Management in Medical Affairs Part 1: What talent do we need from MA colleagues?

With the MA field continuing to experience growth and change, understanding and managing constantly evolving roles and talent is a key success factor for MA managers worldwide. But a limited pool of qualified candidates and lengthy on-boarding process has led to a challenging, hyper-competitive market for recruiting and retaining talent.

In part one of this four part series, we will focus on “What Talent Do We Need from MA Colleagues?”

1. How have the roles/qualifications evolved?
2. What did a typical candidate in MA look like 20 years ago vs. today?
3. How do we manage that to build highly effective teams?

This Webinar series explores how roles and talent management have evolved, what new roles exist or are needed and what skills and competencies are required to succeed in these roles. From the manager’s perspective, we will discuss potential strategies for staying on top of this ever-changing field to manage and retain highly effective teams.

These presentations will feature real world insights from medical leaders, HR executives and recruiters.

By the end of this series, we hope you will gain:
