Our goal is to provide a single source for best practices and a normative understanding of these subfunctions within Medical Affairs to guide individual career growth and also the development of Medical Affairs capabilities across organizations of different sizes, locations, therapeutic areas and phases of development,\u201d says Charlotte Kremer, MAPS CMO and book co-editor.<\/p>\n Features: \u201cWe are so honored that over 80 members of the MAPS community were able to come together to contribute their expertise to this project.
