Real-world evidence (RWE) is no longer a secondary data source, itโs becoming a core input in oncology treatment decisions. In a new survey of Canadian and U.S. oncologists, MD Analytics explores how RWE is being used in clinical practice, the scenarios where itโs most valuable, and what challenges still exist in applying it effectively.
Our latest infographic reveals where oncologists see the greatest benefit from RWE, how it supports complex decision-making, and what pharmaceutical companies can do to improve access, data quality, and clinical relevance.
A recent survey of oncologists in North America reveals a rising trend: more patients are being diagnosed with solid tumor cancers at a younger age. Backed by recent epidemiological studies, this shift is particularly evident in breast and colorectal cancers.
This demographic change is expected to impact treatment strategies, patient management, and how pharmaceutical companies support and communicate with younger patients. Explore the infographic to learn more about the implications for oncology care.
Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) play a crucial role in connecting scientific advancements with healthcare professionals. Our latest research highlights what physicians value most in MSL interactions, where key gaps exist, and which companies are leading in specific therapeutic areas.
Explore our new infographic for insights on strengthening MSL impact and delivering greater value to healthcare professionals.
Physician interactions with pharmaceutical sales reps have evolved significantly since the pandemic. While in-person meetings remain valuable, many doctors now appreciate the flexibility of multiple engagement options. Ensuring a balance between virtual and face-to-face interactions is key to meeting physician preferences.
Explore our latest infographic for insights into how sales rep interactions are shaping physician engagement today.
We surveyed US and Canadian physicians to uncover which medical conferences deliver the most value and which fall short. Interestingly, high attendance doesnโt always mean high perceived value, with key exceptions in cardiology and oncology specialties.
This infographic illuminates which conferences rank the highest in attendance and value across prominent medical specialties.
In this study, we explore the perceptions of US and Canadian physicians on conference attendance and CHE/CME events.
The results highlight that while virtual events have become common, in-person conferences continue to provide significantly more value. Physicians prioritize interactive elements such as Q&A sessions, panel discussions, and case-based workshops, which enhance engagement and learning. The study also reveals the key factors that influence physicians’ attendance, satisfaction, and what they expect from pharmaceutical companies to create a valuable conference experience.

Vaccines have been an almost inescapable topic across the media since COVID-19. Now, four years out from the start of the pandemic, we wanted to better understand vaccination rates and explore those that are most sought out by the general public.
This independent study explores American and Canadian experiences with vaccines. MD Analytics surveyed 1000 people in each country, and the results highlight high vaccination rates and the crucial role pharmacies play in providing access, especially for flu and COVID-19 vaccines.
View our latest infographic to discover findings on vaccination trends and the opportunities for increasing awareness and uptake of essential vaccines.
From smartphone apps for tracking medical conditions to the increasing use of AI for researching diseases and treatments, patients are embracing digital tools to take control of their health. Our latest infographic, based on a study conducted among 2000 individuals in the US and Canada, unveils patterns in the adoption and utilization of health management technology.
Explore the evolving landscape of healthcare technology and discover how patients are leveraging digital tools to enhance their healthcare experience in the results of this independent study.
How involved are patients in their healthcare decisions? Our latest independent study presents the findings of surveying 2000 individuals in the US and Canada. Discover insights into patient participation in treatment decisions and their use of other sources, like social media, for medical information.
Physicians are spending, on average, two hours a day using websites and social media for professional purposes. The increasing reliance on digital media is transforming how physicians engage with crucial product information.
This infographic delves into the insights of our most recent study, exploring which social media channels physicians prefer for professional use, their perceived appropriateness, and the platforms where they welcome interactions with pharmaceutical companies.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, the role of digital tools and media in the professional lives of healthcare professionals is only growing. Physicians now accept less than half of pharma reps’ requests for meetings. As these in-person interactions decline, the need for effective digital information channels becomes crucial.
Our latest infographic illuminates who physicians view as leaders in the digital media space, and what factors influence these perceptions.
The healthcare sector is on the cusp of an AI revolution, with tools like ChatGPT set to transform medical practice. From easing administrative burdens to aiding in complex diagnoses, AI’s integration could allow physicians more time for direct patient care. MD Analytics surveyed 300 physicians to gauge their outlook on AI’s future role.
In a recent study, MD Analytics surveyed 300 physicians to gauge their awareness and use of AI, especially in light of the ChatGPT platform. The findings highlight a significant gap in AI understanding among healthcare professionals, with less than half familiar with the concept. Usage of AI, particularly language models like ChatGPT, remains low due to lack of familiarity and trust. Concerns include patient self-diagnosis based on AI-generated information and the resulting challenges for physicians. Bridging this knowledge gap is crucial to maximize AI’s potential in healthcare.
Physician specialists are not all alike!
MD Analytics surveyed 100 Canadian physician specialists on topics such as work-life balance, patient care, pharma companies, technology, and information sources to identify attitudinal differences to help pharma marketers more effectively communicate with their target audience.
Four segments emerged.
Key insights have emerged in a new study conducted by MD Analytics in terms of differences in how younger and older Canadian physician specialists perceive aspects of patient care.
Building on previous findings that showcased generational differences among primary care physicians, MD Analytics conducted a follow up study in March of 2023 that included a mix of 100 Canadian physician specialists. The overall objective of this study was to determine the extent to which a generational gap may exist in approaches to treatment and patient management. In our analysis, we divided specialists into two groups: younger physicians, those under 45, and older physicians, those 45 and older.
