Suggestions for Reps about Medical Associations, Medical Societies and Support Groups

Ask your physicians what medical associations and medical societies they belong to. Ask if they go to the meetings.
Go to one medical association or medical society meeting a month. It may be one of the best ways to informally get to know your physicians.
Get a contact name for the medical association or medical society that you join and ask them if your company can sponsor one of their talks. Most medical associations and medical societies have periodic meetings where a speaker informs the society about a given topic. These associations and societies often look for pharmaceutical sponsorship for these talks.
As your physicians about support groups for the disease state your medications treats. Then contact the support group and offer to bring snacks and ask if you can sit in.
- This is a great way to better know the patients your mediation treats and adds a sense of professionalism and commitment to how your are seen by your physicians. Try to pick out a few questions you have when you attend a support group meeting. The next day in your offices, you can mention you went to the group and had this question. Physicians will see that you care about the patients being treated by your medication and are interested in learning.
