About Managing MedEd Events

This chapter describes how a pharmaceutical company can use Siebel Pharma Medical Education (Siebel MedEd) to plan all aspects of a medical education event. A medical education event can be as simple as a "lunch-and-learn" in a physician's office or as complex as a seminar series or national sales meeting.

Using the procedures given in this chapter you will be able to perform the administrator tasks of setting up funding for MedEd plans, creating templates for activities, making literature selections available to end users, and designating contacts as MedEd speakers. After these administrative tasks have been completed, end users can then use Siebel MedEd to define MedEd plans, set up MedEd events and sessions, and invite and register event attendees.

Siebel MedEd provides a single repository of medical event information to allow administrators and end users to:

• Plan and execute events
• Track allocated event budgets
• Compare allocated budgets to actual event costs

For more information on the differences between administrator and end-user tasks see Scenario for MedEd Events.
