Some of these activities may include promotional programs that are made available to you on behalf of our third-party partners such as pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare companies.
For example, certain Group DCA/graphic details partners may wish to interact with certain panel members, such as healthcare professionals with a particular specialty (e.g., cardiology) or those with certain demographic criteria (e.g., number of years in practice).
