IFPMA Code of Practice eLearning

IFPMA members are responsible for the discovery of most new medicines and vaccines. They develop, promote, sell, and distribute these in an ethical manner, and in accordance with all the rules and regulations for medicines and healthcare.

In doing so, they provide the healthcare community with the latest scientific and educational information to improve understanding of treatment options available to patients and support high-quality patient care. These interactions are governed by the IFPMA Code of Practice.

In January 2019, IFPMA updated its Code of Practice to add a new focus on ‘Ethos’. Today, together with the IFPMA Ethos, it promotes a culture grounded on values and principles and decisions based on good judgement. The IFPMA Code of Practice eLearning tool aims to support IFPMA members in understanding these changes and putting them into practice.

The eLearning tool covers a range of topics from clinical research and transparency, professional interactions between healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical companies, support for medical education, and so much more.

Those who complete the course will be awarded a certification. The average time to complete the course is 45 minutes over 6 modules.
