Advertising and Promotion

This course delves into why a patient-centric perspective is crucial for all promotional activities, from traditional ads to digital content. You’ll learn the foundational principles of ethical conduct, including the “Do No Harm” imperative, and how to apply them to ensure your communications are truthful, balanced, and non-misleading. We’ll also demystify the complex U.S. regulatory landscape, covering key laws like the False Claims Act and the role of bodies like the FDA and FTC. By the end, you’ll be equipped with the practical knowledge and cultural mindset needed to build and maintain trust with patients and healthcare professionals.
