CMR Institute offers specialized oncology business acumen training to life sciences companies with an oncology portfolio. This training gives sales professionals the knowledge and ability to effectively converse with all stakeholders on topics including clinical pathways, reimbursement, and utilization management of cancer drugs. Our oncology business acumen training curriculum also explains the lasting and ongoing impact of COVID-19 on oncology practices, hospitals, integrated delivery networks (IDNs), and cancer patients, providing sales professionals with strategies to tailor their selling efforts.
What’s New?
With our dedication to keeping our content up-to-date and relevant, we have updated our modules to reflect the launch of the new 5-year payment and care delivery model, Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM).
