Recently, more and more pharmaceutical companies have been establishing Medical Affairs (MA) departments in Japan. MA plays important roles in optimizing value of products from medical/scientific perspective and in bridging between Development and Academia as well as Clinical Practice, having various responsibilities including Medical Information/Communication, engaging with Key Opinion Leaders, dealing with Investigator Sponsored Studies and reviewing promotional materials. Medical Science Liaison (MSL) plays a critical role in bridging between them and is being increasingly recognized by medical personnel and the pharmaceutical industry. This session will feature expert lectures on the roles/responsibilities required for MA and the current MA activities, followed by discussions on what roles MA should be in charge of in Japan.
