21st Annual Medicines Australia CEP Award Winners Announced

Today, Medicines Australia recognises the Australian pharmaceutical industry’s commitment to training and supporting our highly skilled and dedicated Medical Representatives.

This mandatory program highlights the innovative pharmaceutical industry’s diligent commitment to ethical conduct.

The Medicines Australia Continuing Education Program has been in existence for over 45 years.

A total of 659 students commenced their CEP journey through the University of Tasmania in 2017.

The aim of the CEP is to educate company representatives to a recognised industry standard in order to provide health care professionals with accurate, balanced information in an ethical manner that will enhance the quality use of medicines.

These representatives of the innovative pharmaceutical industry have the important job of ensuring the dialogue between the companies who make the medicines and the doctors that prescribe them is productive, balanced and ethical.
