The Business Challenge
A leading pharma company in the Asia Pacific region, our client had a three-fold business challenge to solve. They needed to boost product awareness among healthcare professionals, lower cost of educational events and literature for doctors and supply healthcare professionals with access to mandatory continuing education.
The Solution
Copernicus came up with a one-stop solution for all three interconnected issues – online education delivery system!
Now their medical professionals can grab CME credits at minimum cost to both the professional and the company. And what’s more- it’s self-paced, so no matter what your financial or familial situation, you can complete this at ease.
The one place this system does not compromise on, however, is the completion of the course in detail, without skipping or taking shortcuts.
The Copernicus Charm
And how did our solution affect their program?
60% cut in cost. Massive amount of time saved. Spike in program attendees( almost 1500).
Bonus?
Boost in marketing product literature.
Understanding the Need
Continuous Medical Education (CME) credits are a must for a healthcare professional if they hope to keep their license as a medical professional active. There is a minimum number of credits they need to achieve annually and for that, they need to attend certain authorized seminars, workshops or training programs. The cost of travel and accommodation is borne by the professional and they have to take into account the non-productive time spent on the travel. On the other hand, pharma companies and medical authorities hosting these events should also be able to show some ROI for the events.
Crafting the Solution
Our online education delivery system came as a boon to the medical professionals. They can avail of these events in the comfort of their home and at any time or pace that fits into their hectic schedules.
Result?
Time and money saved on the part of both parties, attendees and organizers.
