Nowadays, healthcare industry developed rapidly in China while medical representative is still not a listed as an official profession which lead confusion in profession standard and functional position of medical representative. Therefore, RDPAC started to promote medical representative professional training program in 2005, targeting at enhancing professional capability of medical representatives, as well as regulating medical promotion activities, in order to help the medical representatives to better act as a bridge between pharmceutical company and medical professionals. With regards to the administration and profession development of medical representation in the future, Robert SIU, Managing Director of RDPAC holds the opinion that to regulate the medical representatives, professionalization is required.
Dr. Eric Bouteiller, Member of RDPAC Executive Committee, President of Ipsen China indicated, "It is meaningful for the pharmaceutical industry and society to administrate medical representative as a profession. We hope medical representative could be listed into China's Occupation Encyclopedia as soon as possible, therefore, they could be administrated in a normalized manner, to promote the normative development of medical representative as a profession and to benefit the Chinese patients."
To facilitate the medical representatives to attend the training and test and accelerating the training program, RDPAC launched its website of MRC program. Please follow the link www.rdpacmrc.org to visit the website.
