To the certificate course
A practice-oriented, cross-company Medical Affairs education is rare — SHQA is filling this gap. The certificate program content provides me with hands-on examples and strategies for my daily job. Furthermore, the interactive sessions with expert instructors fostered a collaborative learning environment that I greatly appreciated.
