As a conduit between medical device organizations and key decision makers, the Medical Affairs function plays an important role in key product launch activities, extending from the pre-launch phase to well beyond market entry.

Best Practices, LLC undertook benchmarking research to identify the critical success factors for a strong medical affairs launch support, as well as highlight strategies for thought leader targeting and communication. This study will serve as a benchmark for medical device companies in developing successful medical affairs launch strategies.
