Patient Education Programs
Lilly contracts with credentialed educators to help inform patients and their caregivers on the proper use of certain Lilly medications—such as those used with injection devices—that have been prescribed to the patients. Educators may also provide disease and medication administration education to prescribing healthcare professionals and their office staff. All patient education is provided only upon referral by the prescribing healthcare professional. |

Healthcare Professional Education Programs
Healthcare Professional Education Programs are speaker programs intended to enhance the knowledge and patient care expertise of healthcare professionals. Led by contracted healthcare professionals, these programs feature education on:
- Data from clinical trials on the effectiveness and safety of Lilly medicines
- Application of data in clinical practice
- Medication dosage, frequency of administration, and duration of use
- Information about the underlying disease, disease management, and epidemiology
- Symptom identification, patient presentation, and diagnosis
Speaker presentations and educational materials are developed by Lilly professionals in collaboration with contracted expert advisors, who are respected academics. All programs must adhere to U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. |
