Navigating the Medical Education Standards and Guidance

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.

To 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.

Learning Objective:

• Apply 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.
