MAPS-MasterClass-Launch-Excellence

WHAT IS A MEDICAL AFFAIRS MASTERCLASS TRAINING PROGRAM?

Immersive, situational-based, two-day training programs focused on key competencies of Medical Affairs that MAPS deems critical for success.

Whether you’re preparing for your first launch or your 5th – big company or small – this program will prove useful, as successful launches in this new era will only be possible if we upgrade existing best practices, together.

Each MasterClass is designed to have a maximum ratio of 8 participants per instructor. We are limiting participation to 40-50 maximum per city, and are expecting delegates from approximately 20-25 different companies per city.

Each program is carefully designed to maximize best practice sharing and cross-industry networking, and will include access to a post-meeting online workspace for continued collaboration with the learning cohort for 1 year, at no additional cost.

Instruction will include a limited number of plenary sessions focused on general launch principles that apply to all types of launches. The majority of program time (>70%) will be spent in small group interactive workshops and table discussions, where participants will have the opportunity to join peers with specific interests and needs, such as launch planning for big pharma, first time launches, or medical/diagnostic device launches.

A RECOGNIZED STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE

MAPS is a globally recognized leader in education, training and best practice sharing – setting the standards for Medical Affairs excellence for over 6,800 members from 230+ companies, including 21 official industry partner companies (and counting). A certificate of completion will be provided at the conclusion of the MasterClass. In addition, an online workspace for the MasterClass cohort will be created immediately following the program for one year to allow continued best practice sharing, Q&A, and co-learning from peers in the cohort.

CONCERNED ABOUT FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS OR HAVE CORPORATE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS?

Introducing “Breakout Pods”

Although we are all excited to resume in-person meetings, we realize that everyone will have different levels of comfort for those initial interactions, and some of you may have corporate policies in place restricting your participation in meetings to less than a certain number of attendees.

To this end, we are pleased to introduce “Breakout Pods” for safe yet effective engagement. While most of the time at MasterClass programs are spent in small group breakouts of 25 people or less, we do reconvene periodically for re-caps and brief plenary-style instruction. If you are not yet comfortable being in a larger group or have aforementioned corporate travel restrictions in place, you may elect to remain in your Breakout Pod for the duration of the MasterClass. We will simply livestream the main room session into your breakout room, and you may still participate in the discussion using the AV technology provided. This will allow you to remain with the same group of 25 (or less) people for the duration of the meeting.
