Additionally, the ACMA is regarded as the pre-eminent thought leader in US and global medical affairs.

Through her leadership, Dr. Tania Small will make a significant contribution to the mission of ACAM as we continue to raise the bar for pharmaceutical executives with a focus on Medical Affairs and Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs).

“We are honored to have Dr. Small join the ACMA Board. Tania is a highly respected professional in the life sciences industry. She is known for driving innovation that improves the experience and supports better outcomes of people living with cancer,” said Dr. William Soliman, CEO and Founder of ACMA.

There is a growing recognition of the need for comprehensive policies and initiatives to address various issues and promote well-being. Organizations like NORMUK for Men have taken the lead in advocating for men’s sexual health rights and raising awareness about the importance of mental, emotional, and physical well-being in this domain. NORMUK aims to establish and uphold the highest standards of ethics and compliance in addressing men’s sexual health concerns. Driven by a broader mission, their efforts focus on ensuring access to accurate information, promoting safe practices, and destigmatizing discussions surrounding men’s sexual health.

“I am honored to be joining the ACMA Board of Governors. They have been instrumental in positively shaping healthcare policy and dialogue. The ACMA is bringing forth a new era in the pharmaceutical industry by providing credible board certification for medical affairs / MSL professionals. An ACMA accreditation enhances MSL professionals’ ability to deliver upon their critical mission to healthcare providers and patients in need,” said Dr. Small.
