Medical Affairs (MA) Committee

The compliance observance becomes the important subject in the pharmaceutical industry, and it is required that medical-scientific information exchange activity (medical affairs activity) will be definitely distinguished from sales campaigns (promotional activity).

In the Medical Affairs (MA) Committee, we are holding monthly meeting, to discuss Clinical Research for Japanese medical evidence creation, activities of Medical Science Liaison (MSL) for high level medical-scientific information exchange.

In addition, our MA Committee regularly carries out survey about the action and situation of the function of the MA section, a function of MSL and a clinical study, and we also analyze and evaluate survey results and announce our achievements to the academic societies.


Medical Safety (MS) Committee

This Committee was progressively evolved from the previous PMS committee to become the Medical Safety Committee in October, 2010. It covers various issues on the safety management of medicinal products through their life-cycle from pre-clinical to post-marketing.

It has adopted as its Vision to "Contribute to the public health through maximizing risk-benefit of medicinal products seamlessly from pre-clinical to post-marketing", and its vision is to share the practical issues experienced through the safety risk management of drugs among members and to establish the best practice of risk management.


Education Committee

Along with the vision and mission of JAPhMed, Education Committee is to foster the development of training and continuing educational programs in Pharmaceutical Medicine for enhancing the knowledge, expertise and skills of pharmaceutical physicians.

JAPhMed provides the first systematic course in pharmaceutical medicine in Japan, based on syllabus and core curriculum of PharmaTrain. It is expected our dedicated educational activities could contribute to develop innovative medicines and medical devices from Japan.

JAPhMed provides the certifications of Pharmaceutical Medicine (Board Certified Member of The Japanese Association of Pharmaceutical Medicine) for MD and non-MD members who specialize Pharmaceutical Medicine and Science.


Kansai Committee

As the certification of pharmaceutical medicine started in 2008, there has been a growing need of training programs for pharmaceutical professionals in Kansai area. In July 2008 JAPhMed members in Kansai area made an effort to start JAPhMed training program with support of Education committee.

Training session in Kansai is scheduled quarterly not only to have training for pharmaceutical medicine but also expanding the network among JAPhMed members.
