Standards & Guidance: Medical Education of External Stakeholders

External education is the provision of diverse learning opportunities to facilitate knowledge exchange, learning, and skills acquisition through funding of independent medical education (accredited or non-accredited), industry-led medical education, or collaborations addressing knowledge, competence, and performance gaps for HCPs, payers, and patients/caregivers.

These initiatives led by Medical Affairs can be a proactive or reactive exchange of information and delivered through various programs, activities, or research-designed education and are critical to enhance medical practice and improve patient outcomes.
