Medical Affairs
Our Medical Affairs team provides flexible and agile services to pharmaceutical companies.
Market Access and Medical Affairs expert resources for your organization’s needs.
Our experts serve as temporary resources within organizations, such as pharmaceutical companies, to execute various projects. The scope, duration, and content of these assignments vary—from short-term projects lasting just a few weeks to holiday coverages or multi-year collaborations across different therapeutic areas like diabetes, pulmonary diseases, oncology, and gastroenterology.
Most assignments are within the Market Access and Medical Affairs departments. We handle the entire process, from finding a suitable candidate to managing recruitment, interviews, employment responsibilities, and providing necessary work tools. The notice period is mutually agreed upon by the client, Medaffcon, and the outsourced employee, ensuring flexible planning and optimal resource utilization. The employee enjoys all the benefits of Medaffcon employment.
Job titles may include Medical Science Liaison, Medical Advisor, and Market Access Manager. While working for our client, the outsourced employee remains an integral part of the Medaffcon team, with opportunities to participate in activities like innovative team days and communal breakfast gatherings.
“The best thing about working as MSL is working in the customer interface and planning new activities together with the product team.”
“As an outsourced Market Access Manager, I’m responsible for pricing and reimbursement processes, and I aim to contribute to the strategic thinking regarding both the Finnish and Nordic markets.”
“As the MSL or Medical Advisor in the hiring company I’m active both in the customer facing activities as well as supporting other functions with internal tasks.”
