There's a silent gap in Medical Communications—and it's not about effort, it's about alignment. In this episode of Transforming Medical Communications, host Wesley Portegies is joined by Simon Priou, an experienced global content leader, to unpack the persistent challenges between Global, Regional, and Local teams.
In Medical Communications, survival isn't about using AI; it's about mastering it. In this episode of Transforming Medical Communications, Wesley Portegies is joined by AI strategist Subir Roy to discuss why mastering AI is no longer optional for leaders in Medical Affairs; it's a competitive necessity. Learn how to eliminate inefficient processes, spot AI "hallucinations," and leverage human expertise to make smarter, faster decisions. AI can save you hours every day, but only if you know how to use it. The future belongs to those who harness AI as a strategic asset; those who don't risk being left behind. This is your wake-up call: Master AI or risk becoming irrelevant.
Digital engagement in Medical Affairs is broken, and you know it. You've got channels that don't connect, metrics that don't matter, and “innovations” that die in MLR review. It's not your fault. But it is fixable. In this episode of Transforming Medical Communications, Wesley Portegies is joined by digital strategist Alessandra Richardson to unpack the broken realities of digital engagement and how to build tools that actually work. This isn't about adding more platforms. It's about connecting the right ones, co-creating with the people you serve, and aligning teams from field to MLR to create measurable, meaningful impact. If you're tired of spinning in digital circles, this is your reset.
Most Medical Affairs leaders know the truth: Counting MSLHCP interactions is easy, but it's meaningless. Vanity metrics are holding Field Medical back. In this episode of Transforming Medical Communications, Wesley Portegies is joined by Denise Clark, Regional Medical Director of the Rare Disease team at Amgen, to show you what to measure instead and how to finally prove your team's real impact. Denise brings a bold, disruptive perspective: activity is not impact. This conversation gives you the modern Field Medical playbook. It's not about doing more. It's about doing what moves the needle.
