“Working in a highly regulated industry, it is of utmost importance to have the awareness and competence in the latest compliance regulations that impact interaction with healthcare professionals. In an ever-changing and heavily regulated environment it is necessary to have the most updated requirements to manage compliance regulations. Pat’s book Breaking the Code to Healthcare Compliance is a great venue that provides the ‘all-inclusive’ knowledge and experience needed to successfully navigate the increasingly complex industry. I say all-inclusive as it is not limited to one geography or one type of HCP.”
