DIA’s Medical Communications eLearning Program includes eight modules, covering key medical communication/medical information principles. Each module contains relevant examples or scenarios designed to simulate medical information-related tasks, so learners can apply the concepts to their day-to-day job responsibilities. The core topics covered include medical inquiries, medical responses, literature searching and evaluation, study designs and statistics, regulations and compliance, product labeling, and unexpected events, incidents, and crises.

The online program is self-paced and can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Users will have one year to complete the modules, and continuing education credits are offered. The eight modules will take approximately 20 hours to complete.
