What is an  ‘interim medic’ ?

The role of an interim pharmaceutical physician is much more than traditional senior roles with companies who have headcount restrictions. We can offer fantastic opportunities for those who are on their way up the career ladder as well as those who are established industry experts. These opportunities can be fixed-term assignments or permanent roles but ones in which the medic’s employer is only medics.

Options are as follows:

• Only Medics Freelance Experts: Long-standing senior positions still exist and can only be successfully filled by candidates who have the strategic insight, skill and knowledge base gained by pharmaceutical physicians who have worked at medical director or similar level

• Only Medics Freelance Contractors: pharmaceutical physicians who have around 2 years’ industry experience and are prepared to work on a fixed term contract on a freelance basis

• Only Medics In Sourced Contractors: The physician has a permanent contract of employment with only medics, who then sub-contracts the individual to pharma companies with resource gaps.
