Why this was classified this way
- Temporary
Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.
Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering if you already have continuing education, CPD, or medical affairs exposure and want a strategic industry education role with strong therapeutic-area depth. Clinicians without prior med-ed or industry experience will likely find the experience bar and travel demands prohibitive.
Who should apply
Physicians, pharmacists, and nurses with prior continuing health education, CPD accreditation, or medical affairs experience, especially those with haematology, nephrology, transplant, oncology, or rare disease backgrounds. Clinician-educators with association or KEE partnership experience are strongest fits.
CV angle
Lead with continuing education and CPD work: programs designed, accreditation obtained, learning outcomes measured, and practice change achieved. Quantify programs delivered, HCP reach, and KAB or outcome improvements, and frame clinical specialty knowledge as content credibility for HNT therapeutic areas. Highlight cross-functional collaboration, KEE or association partnerships, vendor oversight, and any digital or AI-enabled education formats.
Skills to highlight
- Continuing health education and CPD program design
- Adult learning principles and knowledge translation
- Accreditation processes (CCPE and Canadian accrediting bodies)
- Key External Expert and professional association partnership management
- Cross-functional collaboration and vendor management
- Outcome measurement and KAB gap analysis
- Digital and AI-enabled education formats
- Project management and field mobilization
