At a time when many doctors are barring access to pharma reps, a n August TNS Healthcare survey of 286 physicians just reported on by Marketing Vox found that 40% of doctors surveyed see an improvement in pharma sales interactions, with Merck's sales team leading the pack.   Improvement was seen in web-based physician education and outreach, and 60% of physicians surveyed said that pharma-sponsored physician education was useful to them.  Only 30% found corporate reputation to be critical, although those who found it important said it was one of the most important factors.
