Abstract:
In order to upgrade the service that sales representatives offer to doctors the pharmaceutical industry has established the Council for the Accreditation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Representatives of Canada. The Council has a course of study that is an impressive and well organized program. Since the Council was set up in 1969, 1500 out of 2200 detailers have paid their personal fees to participate in the course.
