Not every company needs a full-time Head of Medical Affairs yet, but critical scientific and organizational decisions often require that level of experience well before a permanent leader is in place.

MedIntuit provides experienced Fractional Medical Affairs Leadership on a fractional or interim basis, giving pharma and biotech teams senior strategic direction and execution support at the level and cadence their organization needs.

Fractional leadership can support a defined transition period, fill an immediate leadership gap, or serve as an ongoing model for companies that need senior Medical Affairs expertise without adding permanent executive headcount. For emerging organizations, this model can also help clarify which senior medical leadership capabilities are needed as the company grows.


Fractional Medical Affairs Leadership

What This Service Includes

Congress Portfolio Strategy and Prioritization

We help identify and prioritize the congresses and scientific conferences most relevant to your therapeutic area, pipeline, scientific milestones, stakeholder landscape, and Medical Affairs objectives. Considerations may include upcoming data presentations, KOL participation, competitive activity, and opportunities for meaningful scientific engagement.

Pre-congress Strategy and Engagement Planning

We define congress objectives, priority stakeholders, scientific engagement goals, team coverage, meeting strategy, key scientific themes, and insight priorities before the event begins. Support may also include stakeholder mapping, meeting preparation, discussion planning, and coordination across Field Medical and internal Medical Affairs teams. When a scientific conference presentation, abstract, poster, or major data readout is part of the event, we incorporate that milestone into the broader engagement and coverage strategy.

On-Site Medical Affairs Support

When additional congress coverage is needed, MedIntuit can provide experienced on-site Medical Affairs support within the client's defined role, training, scientific, and compliance parameters. Support may include scheduled stakeholder meetings, scientific engagement support, session coverage, insight capture, internal coordination, and congress intelligence. This can support therapeutic-area meetings as well as a broader Medical Affairs congress where multiple scientific and functional priorities are in play.

Scientific and Competitive Congress Intelligence

We support structured monitoring of scientific presentations, emerging data, competitive activity, stakeholder themes, and other developments relevant to Medical Affairs planning. Our congress intelligence for pharma and biotech teams is designed to move beyond isolated observations and provide a more complete view of the scientific and competitive landscape.

Post-Congress Insights and Follow-Through

We help consolidate scientific and field insights, identify recurring themes, route relevant findings to internal stakeholders, prioritize follow-up activities, and translate congress learning into actionable Medical Affairs recommendations.

Who this is for

  • Emerging biotech and pharma teams preparing for a major scientific conference or medical congress for the first time

  • Medical Affairs leaders seeking more structured scientific engagement, insight generation, and cross-functional coordination around major congresses

  • Established teams looking to strengthen how congress insights, scientific intelligence, and stakeholder engagement inform broader Medical Affairs strategy
