Medical Affairs Fellowship Program 2021-2023

About ConneXion360 ConneXion360 (www.connexion360.com) is the nation’s leading provider of healthcare professional (HCP)–focused, multi-channel communication. The company was founded with the mission of providing innovative solutions to help biopharmaceutical companies effectively communicate with HCPs across a variety of innovative platforms.

We strongly believe that our collaboration and commitment to excellence are core values that continuously drive our business to greater heights.

What We Do Best • National Broadcasts are live webcasts that reach thousands of HCPs and feature medical topics

presented by national key opinion leaders (KOLs). Our broadcasts also offer an opportunity for HCPs toengage with the speakers in live question-and-answer sessions to improve their knowledge about themedical topic or brand.

• Treatment Perspectives™ platforms are designed to directly engage a highly targeted audiencethrough videos and newsletters featuring pharmaceutical or medical topics. An email campaignpromoting the platform content is selectively addressed to prescribers based on their specialty or area ofpractice, enabling pharmaceutical companies to strategically reach HCPs instead of, or in addition to,interaction with a sales representative.

• mChat™ is a one-on-one, peer-to-peer (P2P) program that pairs a KOL with an individual HCP or practicevia web conference. These programs educate HCPs about specific aspects of a brand or product (eg,epidemiology, dosing, safety). An mChat™ is designed to ensure that HCPs feel confident with the roleof the product when making clinical decisions for their patients’ overall health.

• eMotion Media Mini Movies are Hollywood-quality, short films that transform key messages andscientific rationale into compelling, clinically relevant scenarios, resulting in an actionable moment withsustainable behavior changes.
