About
Medical Affairs in modern pharmaceutical companies ensure that the company's products are supported by sound scientific evidence, are used safely and effectively, and that the company maintains a positive relationship with the wider medical community.
Its activities range from clinical development support to health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), medical information and advocacy and stakeholder relations, requiring a wide range of professional skills and experience.
This course offers an exploration of the use of Artificial Intelligence, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, within the field of Medical Affairs. As technology continues to evolve, there's a growing interest in understanding how AI tools can be integrated into traditional medical processes.
Attendees will gain insight into how AI can process and present scientific data, potentially opening up new avenues for medical education and real-world data analysis. The course will also address the challenges associated with these models, including data reliability and ethical considerations.
By the end of the course, participants should have a clearer understanding of the benefits and limitations of using AI and LLMs in Medical Affairs, enabling them to make informed decisions about their potential application.
