Arbor Scientia Group
Bringing Scientific Stories To Life

Great science deserves great storytelling. When a life sciences narrative is well crafted and navigated through medical, legal and regulatory (MLR) review and submission, it drives real-world impact.

Arbor Scientia Group expertly delivers both.

As master scientific storytellers, the Arbor Scientia Group team transforms complex medical content, from preclinical through post-launch, into clear and compelling narratives that engage, educate and inspire. By blending creativity with scientific and Veeva expertise, Arbor Scientia Group helps make traditionally cumbersome MLR review and approval processes a strategic advantage for clients.

“Even the best stories or content will never reach their intended audience if the submission process is not carefully managed and optimized for efficiency,” says Richard L. Davis, president and CEO.

At the heart of Arbor Scientia Group is a vision to accelerate continuing education for healthcare professionals by making up-to-date information and best practices more accessible. For over two decades, this vision has made it a trusted partner for organizations looking to turn science into stories that inspire action.

This commitment is rooted in Davis’s vast experience as an international communication and adult learning authority. He founded Arbor Scientia Group with Dr. Stephen M. Stahl, a renowned psychopharmacologist and bestselling author. They recognized that making medical education impactful required more than just expertise—it needed a new communication method.

Arbor Scientia Group integrates principles of communication science and adult learning to create pioneering medical education methods that simplify even the most complex topics. The company brings science to life through polished slide decks, engaging videos and interactive eLearning modules and works across commercial, educational and promotional channels to ensure clarity and effectiveness in every message. From core visual aids, both print and digital, to peer-reviewed publications, scientific posters and graphics, Arbor Scientia Group creates content that audiences can easily connect with.

Arbor Scientia Group’s expertise spans a wide array of therapeutic areas. It supports medical education in neurology, psychiatry, hematology, oncology, rare diseases, immunology and virology. It is also instrumental in advancing knowledge in cardiovascular health, women’s health, urology, diabetes and gastroenterology.

Optimizing Submissions for Maximum Impact

Great content alone isn’t enough—it must also be submission ready. Organizations unfamiliar with Veeva Vault and facing bottlenecks during medical, legal and regulatory reviews can rely on Arbor Scientia Group as a guide and architect, as it can create submission frameworks designed to streamline workflows and accelerate timelines, from start to finish.

Distinguishing Arbor Scientia Group is its long-tenured team, who has a deep understanding of the nuances of scientific communication. These subject matter experts bring extensive in-house capabilities to every project. The team’s strong working relationships with medical, legal and regulatory committees foster true collaboration, turning what can often feel like an adversarial review process into a smooth, efficient workflow. They actively participate in review meetings and provide immediate answers and expert guidance, and this hands-on approach improves accuracy, minimizes revisions and expedites approvals of high-quality content that is precise and easy to understand.

A Methodical Approach to Scientific Storytelling

Arbor Scientia Group believes the path to crafting impactful scientific stories and high-quality submissions begins with a structured approach that guarantees alignment from the outset. The process starts with an internal strategy session before engaging with the client, and all available services are clearly outlined, allowing the client to leverage them as needed.

Following this, a strategy session is conducted with the client to align on objectives and ensure continuous communication and adherence to the timeline, which includes all submission deadlines to keep the process on track.

Building on this foundation, Arbor Scientia Group ensures an effective submission process by employing dedicated content specialists with a high degree of skill in using the Veeva system. They excel at annotating and referencing submissions, enabling clients to communicate their scientific insights with clarity and precision across all projects.

“The depth of expertise within our team enables us to streamline the work process, and everybody ends up a winner,” says Davis.

A testament to this approach is the company’s successful partnership with a client that required broad support across multiple divisions, including promotional, commercial and medical affairs. After being inactive in the marketplace for several years, the client was undergoing a major reorganization. While many firms focus on a single functional area, Arbor Scientia Group’s experience enabled it to act as an extension of the client’s team, providing support across all functions. It delivered critical educational assets and initiatives within an aggressive timeline throughout the transition, helping the client maintain momentum despite internal restructuring.

Arbor Scientia Group continuously refines its approach to stay ahead of industry trends and solidify its position as a go-to resource for both new organizations entering the market and established firms undergoing changes. A recent example is a pharmaceutical startup in the stages of building its workforce, where the lack of an established submission process led to delays and confusion. Recognizing this gap, the senior vice president of account services at Arbor Scientia Group designed and implemented a structured Veeva-based submission framework. This transparent, scalable system provided immediate functionality while maintaining long-term sustainability.

As Veeva’s critical role in the industry grows, Arbor Scientia Group has prioritized expanding its internal knowledge base. Its content generation group now includes specialized medical content experts who are dedicated to enhancing submission quality. Their proficiency with Veeva Vault and its requirements ensures that submissions meet client expectations and progress efficiently through the review process.

With its finger on the pulse of scientific mastery and pioneering educational methods, Arbor Scientia Group continues to provide high-quality solutions that resonate with audiences and drive impactful results.
