To transition into Medical Affairs, leverage your extensive experience in formulation, quality assurance, medical devices, hospital medicines information, independent prescribing, and global regulatory affairs. Focus on your strong understanding of drug development, regulatory compliance, and scientific communication. Highlight your expertise in quality assurance (such as sciom has done(https://www.sciom.uk/ )), as well as your ability to interpret and communicate complex data. Network with professionals in the field, seek training or certifications in Medical Affairs, and tailor your CV to emphasize your clinical and regulatory experience. This will showcase how your background can contribute to strategic decisions in Medical Affairs.
Working in regulatory and having clinical experience would be a great skill set to bring into medical affairs. If you are already in a pharmaceutical company have you considered including this aspiration in your personal development plan. Check if you are able to do a secondment. Your manager will be the best person to help you achieve your career goals if you want to stay at your current company.
