SUMMARY:Granting for Good: Sanofi's Rare Humanitarian Program
DESCRIPTION:In Partnership with: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor 35 years\, Sanofi’s Rare Humanitarian Program has delivered therapies to over 4\,000 patients across 110+ countries who would otherwise have no access to treatment. Hear from our experts on the operational innovations and human-centered design that cut approval timelines from weeks to 36 hours\, reached new markets like Uganda\, and maintained compliance at global scale. Attendees who run or oversee access programs will leave with concrete frameworks\, lessons learned\, and proof that modernization can accelerate impact without sacrificing integrity. \n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\n\nDescribe how the Sanofi Rare Humanitarian Program operates and explain the six-step process (Submission\, Medical Review\, Operational Review\, Decision\, Shipment\, Treatment) enabling rapid patient access across 70+ countries.\n\n\n\nUnderstand how technology platforms streamline medical grantmaking workflows — from weeks of manual processing to approvals under 36 hours — while maintaining compliance and governance.\n\n\n\nIdentify strategies for designing physician-centric humanitarian programs that balance HCP simplicity with operational compliance\, change management\, and patient-level impact measurement.\n\n\n\nRecognize the operational and strategic outcomes of modernized medical grantmaking\, including tracking patient milestones\, measuring impact across disease areas\, and scaling access across diverse global markets.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: \n\n\n\nAnnie Horneland \n\n\n\nSenior Solutions Architect\,  \n\n\n\nBonterra \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\nBonnie Anderson Hill \n\n\n\nGlobal Head of Humanitarian Programs\, Foundation\,  \n\n\n\nSanofi

SUMMARY:Closing the Confidence-to-Action Gap: A Practical Path for AI in Medical Affairs
DESCRIPTION:In Partnership with: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew industry research reveals a striking gap: 86% of Medical Affairs professionals believe AI will improve their function’s efficiency in the next two to three years\, but only 20% describe their organization as leading edge. This gap between belief and action is structural: most teams are using AI as chatbots opened on demand for individual tasks\, while the more comprehensive workflows that define Medical Affairs operations remain largely untouched. \n\n\n\nDrawing on industry research\, roundtable discussions\, and recent conversations with Medical Affairs leaders\, this session explores the specific hurdles slowing AI adoption and what workflow-integrated AI requires to move from operational tasks toward higher-stakes Medical Affairs work. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nDescribe the current state of AI adoption in Medical Affairs functions based on the 2026 industry benchmark survey\, including organizational posture\, deployed use cases\, and the leading barriers reported by senior practitioners.\n\n\n\nDifferentiate chatbot-style AI tools used for individual productivity from workflow-integrated AI that operates as a deeper collaborative partner and defined step inside governed Medical Affairs processes\, and recognize the operational implications of each model.\n\n\n\nApply a use case prioritization framework that evaluates AI leverage against compliance friction to identify which Medical Affairs workflows are most viable for near-term AI deployment.\n\n\n\nEvaluate their own organization’s validation\, governance\, and team readiness posture against industry benchmarks and identify two to three actions to advance AI maturity over the next 12 months\, including review models\, source-verification expectations\, and capability-building for effective human oversight.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: \n\n\n\nGirish Pashilkar \n\n\n\nCEO\, \n\n\n\nBP Logix \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\nKirk Shepard\, \n\n\n\nChief Medical Officer\, \n\n\n\nPDS Biotech \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\nGary Lyons \n\n\n\nEVP\, Medical Affairs\, \n\n\n\nCoronado Research

SUMMARY:Navigating the Medical Education Standards and Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the complex world of external medical education requires a strong understanding of strategy\, compliance\, and execution. This webinar provides a clear roadmap for Medical Affairs professionals using the comprehensive MAPS External Education Standards and Guidance document as its foundation. Participants will explore the critical differences between independent and industry-led education\, learn a step-by-step framework for program development from needs assessment to outcomes measurement\, and review key principles for governance and risk mitigation. \n\n\n\nTo bring these concepts to life\, the session will feature a practical case study demonstrating how to apply these standards to navigate a common real-world educational scenario \, providing attendees with actionable insights they can immediately apply in their roles. \n\n\n\nLearning Objective: \n\n\n\n\nDifferentiate between key external education models\, including Independent Medical Education (IME)\, industry-led programs\, and sponsorships\, to align activities with strategic intent.\n\n\n\nApply a structured framework for planning external education\, from conducting a needs assessment and defining instructional design to measuring outcomes effectively.\n\n\n\nIdentify key principles of governance\, risk mitigation\, and compliance to ensure all educational activities adhere to global and local regulatory standards.\n\n\n\nApply key principles from the MAPS External Education Standards and Guidance\, as demonstrated in a practical case study\, to inform the strategic planning and governance of a compliant external medical education program.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\nSue Ellen Tuoma \n\n\n\nDirector Global Medical Education\, \n\n\n\n Regeneron \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\n\nSarah Funderburk \n\n\n\nSVP\, Senior Medical Strategy Director\,  \n\n\n\nOmnicom Health Medical
