As a brand manager, product manager, communication manager or pharmaceutical marketer, you’re responsible for bringing your medicines to the attention of the doctor or medical specialist.
Nowadays, it’s not easy to reach this target group through traditional channels, such as field service or physical in-service training. First, because of the high costs that this entails. On the other hand, because general practitioners and medical specialists have less time to talk to your field staff or to be physically present at the training.
Accessible medium
With a professional webinar, you have a cost-efficient, powerful and interactive tool to get the attention of the general practitioner and medical specialist, to hold it and to increase the reach of your target group. You can use a webinar for a targeted audience, whereby the general practitioner and the medical specialist can easily participate in a (live) webinar from their home or office. The only thing what is needed is a desktop, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection. Participants can see the speakers, follow the presentation or live demo and participate in the broadcast through a chat or poll. The webinar can be broadcast live, but will also remain available after the broadcast. Important information is retained and general practitioners or medical specialists can view the webinar afterwards.
Accredited training webinar
It’s also possible to provide a webinar with accreditation points. Then, the webinar is combined with a (pre) test; The test only appears after a participant has viewed enough of the webinar. After successful completion, participants receive confirmation of their participation in the webinar and PE points are awarded.
