About the role
A medical affairs intern supports literature searches, scientific materials and responses to medical questions. The panel wants sound scientific reasoning, balanced communication and a clear understanding that medical information must remain accurate, ethical and separate from promotional pressure.
How to prepare
- Revise the mechanism, evidence and major safety points for one medicine you can explain confidently.
- Practise comparing study design, population, outcome measures and limitations across two papers.
- Prepare to summarise a technical article for both a clinician and a non-clinical colleague.
- Review the distinction between balanced medical information and product promotion.
- Think of a time you accepted expert feedback and improved a scientific task.
Common mistakes
- Presenting an abstract's conclusion without checking the methods and limitations.
- Using technical terms without adapting the explanation to the audience.
- Giving a personal treatment recommendation instead of escalating the medical request.
- Allowing a commercial objective to change a balanced scientific answer.
