Attendance at Continuing Medical Education Events
Orange Guide – Chapter 2: Detailing to HCPs
Continuing medical education lectures (CME) often take place during conventions or Congresses at
which Sales Colleagues may be present. Sales Colleagues’ attendance at CME-accredited programs can
present legal, perception and other risks. Therefore, in the case of widely attended medical congresses
or conventions, Sales Colleagues may attend CME-accredited lectures, provided that the following
guidance is followed:
Attendance must be occasional;
You must not engage in promotional activity at the CME event; and
You must avoid initiating conversations with prescribers and you should not discuss Pfizer
products if you are approached by an HCP while at the CME event.
However, you should not attend CME events that are likely to involve substantial discussion of
investigational Pfizer compounds or issues that are inconsistent with labeling for an approved Pfizer
product.
Except where permitted by any applicable BU policy exception, you should not attend any other CME
events. If you are uncertain if it is permissible for you to attend a CME event, please contact your
Regional Attorney.
