How medical affairs teams review scientific literature

After years in medical affairs, there is one question I have never seen answered with data: how is the published literature on your own products actually reviewed? Is there a process, or does it depend on who happens to be around that week?

  • 10 questions, about 3 minutes.
  • No confidential or identifiable company data is requested.
  • Answers will be published aggregated and anonymously, in late September.
