SEMDA Regional Meeting: Physician Advisors

If you didn't catch the Southeastern Medical Device Association's event earlier this week at Mercer, another is right around the corner, closer to home.  On Tuesday December 9, starting at 5:30pm, you can attend SEMDA's "Working with Physician Advisors - The New Paradigm".  The event is being held at the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce, 300 E University Ave.

The agenda includes networking from 5:30 to 6:30, followed by:

- Video presentation: Jan Heybroak, MSc, MBA, President of The Arcas Group & Jerri Davis, Legal and Regulatory Compliance Manager for Porex Corporation.

- Panel discussion:  Karen Zadarej, MBA, Chief Operating Officer of AxoGen & Stephen Huggard, JD, Partner at Edwards, Angell, Palmer & Dodge.

SEMDA's event description states:
"Physicians accepting large sums of money for their consultative roles with life science companies have become headline news, resulting in national guidelines, proposed regulations and new state laws. Yet companies need the input…and credibility…offered by medical experts.

How can your company stay compliant with FDA regulations while still benefiting from physician advisors? What appropriate role can they play without crossing ethical and regulatory boundaries?"

The event is free for SEMDA members and $20 for non-members.
