Stop guessing what communication training your team needs.
SCI measures how effectively your life sciences team communicates complex science, then shows you exactly what to develop first. Built on 25 years of training more than 200,000 healthcare professionals.
Most communication training starts with an assumption.
Someone decides the team needs presentation skills. Or objection handling. Or storytelling. The budget gets approved. The workshop happens. Six months later, nobody can say what changed.
Meanwhile the actual constraint is still sitting there, quietly costing you access, credibility, and physician trust.
See the whole team before you spend another dollar on development.
The full team in one view.
Composite scores across six communication dimensions, plus every individual profile. One report, not twelve conversations.
Pattern or outlier.
Know whether you are looking at a team-wide gap or one person’s blind spot. Those need completely different responses, and they are almost impossible to tell apart without data.
A roadmap, not a score.
You leave with a prioritized development plan, sequenced and justified. Something you can take to leadership and defend.
We have spent 25 years watching where scientific communication breaks down.
You have sat in the back of a room and watched a brilliant scientist lose it. The data was right. The message did not land. That gap is expensive and nearly invisible from any dashboard you currently have.
EDC has trained more than 200,000 healthcare professionals to communicate complex science with clarity and impact. SCI takes 25 years of pattern recognition and turns it into a measurement your team can act on.
Three steps to a development decision you can defend.
Tell us about your team.
Five minutes. Team size, function, and what you are trying to improve.
Your team completes the index.
No scheduling, no travel, no disruption to field time.
You get the executive report.
Team composite, individual profiles, six dimension scores, and a prioritized development roadmap.
What the Scientific Communication Index actually measures.
The output is not a grade. It is a picture of where scientific expertise is converting into physician understanding and where it is getting lost.
SCI is a team-level diagnostic for life sciences organizations. Each participant completes an assessment across six communication dimensions, the same dimensions EDC has spent 25 years observing in the field with Medical Affairs teams, Medical Science Liaisons, Thought Leader Liaisons, and commercial teams. You see the team composite, how individuals cluster around it, which dimensions are consistently strong, and which ones are dragging the whole team down.
How SCI creates the score.
SCI combines three perspectives so the result is more useful than a self-assessment alone:
Together, these inputs are evaluated across six communication dimensions to show what is strong, where perceptions diverge, and what the team should develop first.
SCI looks across Scientific Clarity, Audience Engagement, Message Structure, Visual Communication, Delivery & Poise, and Executive Presence.
