In its 7th year of outstanding stewardship, as a global center of education and training for Medicines Development professionals, the IFAPP Academy is embarking on a landmark transformation. While our goals remain unchanged, we recognize an opportunity to better achieve our mission of advancing all disciplines involved in pharmaceutical medicine / medicines development, to gain competence, seek professional identity, and harness the power of a sense of purpose.

With this transition, we will reposition and rebrand to GMDP Academy (Global Medicines Development Professional Academy), an education provider, enriched with a membership, with multiple educational offerings, CPD activities, and services. Our goal is to offer a unique, unparalleled platform for fostering continuing professional and personal growth while helping to establish and steer others down a career path for advancement.

The premise of a global, state-of-the-art, quality offering, with opportunity to learn from world-renowned experts and to network with todays and tomorrow’s leaders from around the globe, backed by a dedicated team of acclaimed medicines development professionals, remains true to the GMDP Academy.

In the coming months, look out for a revamped and rebranded website, energized classroom settings and learning interfaces, and stimulating social media communications, culminating in a formal launch of the GMDP Academy later this year.

We value and expect your partnership, as we advance in the journey to consolidate medicines development as a new profession in healthcare.

Sincerely,

Honorio Silva, President
