Key takeaways:

1. Medical Affairs can be divided into two elements, which are the following:

i. Field Medical Team-tasked with providing non-promotional materials to healthcare providers and digging into the respective data.

ii. Post-market data collection- which patients are benefitting from the medical product?

2. One struggle that medical affairs professionals have faced among key health care stakeholders is how the utilization of medical products impacts the commercial strategies of companies. 

3. One of the values that Medical Affairs brings to the organization is the ability for the field to analyze, and crunch data to make it more accessible to consumers in real-time.
