Drug Sample Management

Providing drug samples is an important part of a sales representative’s interaction with healthcare professionals. Violating the Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA) can lead to criminal prosecution, significant fines and jail time. In addition, the management and tracking of sample inventory can be a distracting and time-consuming responsibility. Drug Sample Management and the PDMA combines training on a sales representative’s responsibilities under the PDMA, with practical guidelines for managing drug sample inventories, into one ready-to-launch eLearning module.

Drug Sample Management and the PDMA This comprehensive eLearning module covers the essentials of the PDMA and its subsequent regulations, including:

The purpose of the Act
Requirements for distribution of samples by sales representatives
Annual inventory audits

In addition to describing the essentials of the PDMA, the module offers best practices for managing and storing a sample inventory and identifies common errors which lead to calculation issues during audits.

These easy-to-understand strategies will help your reps keep their inventory organized from the moment they receive samples, and help reduce the dreaded time-out-of-territory that can be associated with sample management.

Clear, instructionally sound case studies reinforce key concepts and heighten the learning experience by encouraging the learner to think and act appropriately. The module includes interactive exercises and a final assessment with tracking and reporting capability.
