What has impressed me with the society thus far and really separated it from other offerings, is that this organization is being developed BY Medical Affairs professionals, FOR Medical Affairs professionals. There is a great sense of community with this society, of being 'inside the family', that allows everyone to be open and share the difficulties and challenges in their organizations and careers.
