Working With Health Care Professionals
At Pfizer, we're focused on improving your health. And we believe that working with healthcare professionals-people like your doctor, as well as researchers, scientists, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants and others – is vital to improving patient health.
How We Work Together
Studying how a medicine works in patients is required for a medicine to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Even after approval, continued study of the benefits and safety of medicines is essential. Doctors and researchers help design and carry out studies about our medicines.
Healthcare professionals invest years of study and practice to become experts in a specific area, and their advice is critically important to ensuring our work incorporates real practice and patient insights.
Doctors and other healthcare professionals may work with Pfizer as expert speakers to promote our medicines and educate their peers about a health condition or one of our medicines.
Members of Pfizer's field force visit with healthcare professionals in the office to share new or relevant promotional information about our medicines – including new study results and important safety updates.
