Why choose KARMA

KARMA Clinical Relations was founded in 1992 to meet the unmet need of developing and delivering industry sponsored accredited continuing medical education learning interventions for physicians based on adult learning principles.

 

There were plenty of challenges and no roadmap at that time. However there were opportunities to improve upon the status quo and the underlying need to change the relationship between industry sponsors and physicians when it came to continuing medical education. Numerous stakeholders emerged who first needed to be convinced of why these changes were necessary and then how these changes could give rise to improved engagement. Regulatory/compliance involvement became involved and gave rise to the various maintenance of certification or competencies programs for physicians and surgeons around the globe. 

 

Today we find ourselves with many similar challenges and no roadmap due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Once again the unique role of healthcare professionals in society is being put to the test. This time by a global pandemic and associated uncertainty restrictions placed on mass gatherings and travel by several levels of governments, universities and hospitals, not to mention individual concerns. Similarly how industry sponsors engage with physicians during this unique time needs to be examined and perhaps redefined and the various stakeholders enlightened along the way as we move from live in-person to virtual online and hybrid events.

 

KARMA Clinical Relations is uniquely suited to meet these challenges and opportunities based in part on our foundation and 20+ years of our experience and what we have learned in just the last year of researching, evaluating and delivering two highly successful first-of-a-kind virtual online annual conferences for the Canadian Dermatology Association and the Women in Dermatology Leadership.
