• Maintain the KOL Interaction Plan in an updated, accurate, and ethical manner.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of Continuing Medical Education (CME) initiatives relevant to the therapeutic area.
• Support market access teams by sharing scientific literature and relevant evidence to help inform decision-making regarding product inclusion across healthcare institutions.
• Deliver scientific, non-promotional presentations on disease states within the therapeutic area, as well as on Takeda Mexico products, to national, regional, or state-level institutions, as appropriate.
• Participate actively in national and international congresses, as well as regional medical forums and association meetings, to support scientific and CME-related activities.
• Provide scientific support to internal stakeholders, including business units, marketing, market access, and training teams, according to organizational needs.
• Communicate key insights gathered from KOLs and HCPs to support the refinement of medical strategies and tactics.
• Develop and implement Medical Affairs materials.
• Ensure compliance with the key performance indicators (KPIs) established for the role.
