At QuantumHire, we wanted to emphasize a few points we have found working in the field and recruiting top talent in Medical Affairs.
Higher hurdles for product value.
Market acceptance with a more expensive product will always be a fight.
The definition of value using real-world data.
Skeptics to new therapies will always question the data (and maybe they should).
Decision power is shifting from physicians to cost containment stakeholders
A bummer for science but the dollars are not unlimited. (Even politicians are joining!)
Medical data will rise and expand rapidly providing credible unbiased communications will rule.
Finding a way to speed up and reduce the costs of studies would help us all.
The bar for the best talent is rising. Market adoption will require strong relationships, more people skills than technical knowledge and Medical Affairs will need to step up to the plate with the growing expectations placed upon them and their leaders.
Old school paradigms wont grow your company but talent who can ride the fine line in all the key areas will create the next blockbuster organizations of the future. If you get it we want you at QuantumHire.
