Abstract
In today's rapidly growing healthcare landscape, the role of Medical Affairs within pharmaceutical companies has transitioned from a traditional support function into a strategic one. Amidst acute challenges such as evolving globalization, digitization, and healthcare trends, effective talent development and professional standards in Medical Affairs emerge as a pivotal cornerstone to future-proof pharmaceutical companies. This article explores strategies, perspectives, and best practices for enhancing talent development with medical or natural sciences background in the field of Medical Affairs. From the historical development of Medical Affairs, we cover current challenges and provide a comprehensive approach to talent development strategies of next-generation talents in Medical Affairs. Drawing upon current literature and personal experiences, we discuss various aspects relevant for designing targeted training programs, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhancing both technical and soft skills essential for success in Medical Affairs roles. Furthermore, we highlight the significance of company-internal rotational programs in exposing talents to different facets of Medical Affairs. We advocate for a flexible and individualized approach to talent development, allowing next-generation talents to pursue personal interests and contribute to innovative projects. Overall, this article offers practical recommendations for pharmaceutical companies aiming to optimize their local talent development initiatives in Medical Affairs and align them with the evolving needs of the healthcare landscape.
