Join FDLI at the next virtual “Author Happy Hour” to discuss the Winter 2022 Update magazine article, “Direct-to-Patient Sample Distribution in the Time of COVID-19.” The article co-authors, John Petrolino and John Maher, Knipper Health, will lead a discussion on the temporary abeyance of the Prescription Drug Marketing Act’s requirement that drug samples must be provided to physicians before distributing to patients. When the Public Health Emergency expires, what regulatory changes will need to be enacted to facilitate improved outcomes for patients? Engage in a dialogue on the topics presented in the article with your peers in the FDLI community, while enjoying your favorite beverage! This is a member-exclusive event and is limited to 20 attendees to encourage active dialogue in a virtual setting.
