Physical Separation of Speaker Programs at Medical Education Events<br />
<strong>Orange</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> – Chapter 9: Speaker Programs for HCPs<br />
Q. The organizers of the medical education event require that <strong>Pfizer</strong> pay a fee to<br />
cover expenses that are directly associated with the promotional speaker<br />
program, such as the cost to rent the separate presentation room. Must this<br />
fee be paid through the Medical Education Grant process?<br />
A. No. St<strong>and</strong>ard fees required to cover the fair market value of logistical expenses<br />
associated with the <strong>Pfizer</strong> speaker program may be paid by the appropriate<br />
<strong>Pfizer</strong> Sales Colleagues.<br />
Q. I’ve been offered an opportunity to provide a promotional speaker program<br />
during a medical education event, but the organizers have told me that no<br />
separate room will be available. Can I still hold the program?<br />
A. Generally no. However, if it is possible to physically separate your presentation<br />
space within the event room, you may consult with your Legal Counsel about<br />
an exception to determine if <strong>and</strong> how the program may be conducted<br />
appropriately under the circumstances.<br />
