What compliance related concerns do our clients have and how does Miller Tanner address these concerns?
The pharmaceutical industry that Miller Tanner has served for over 19 years is a very complex, but exciting arena. Pharmaceutical companies invest significant time and effort to develop relationships with physicians that are experts in patient care for specific diseases to better understand and help document how their product or drug impacts that patient population. Clients have to assure their interactions with physicians and other healthcare professional can not be perceived as to influence the physician’s decision on how to best treat a patient. Miller Tanner assists our client in planning and managing events globally with healthcare professionals that are always professional and conducive to scientific training.
