The Field Medical Manager will also leverage digital tools and innovative engagement methods to enhance scientific exchange and education, adapting to modern, hybrid models of interaction.

All activities must be conducted in full compliance with corporate policies, regulatory requirements, and ethical standards, maintaining a non-promotional approach and ensuring proper documentation of scientific interactions.
