4 reasons why snackable content is changing the face of training within HEOR and market access
11/1/2023
“I think we’ve all had that sinking feeling of being told there’s a lot of training to complete and you’re wondering how to fit it into a busy working day,” says Alison Lawrence, Senior Director, “and that’s when snackable content can help.”
In this short film, Alison shares 4 reasons why snackable, on-demand content is changing the face of training within HEOR and market access: balancing workloads, encouraging completion, improving accessibility, and driving engagement.

1. Bite-sized on-demand HEOR and market access training helps you to balance your workload
When you are already busy with your existing workload and responsibilities, finding time for training can be difficult. It can be on the list of things to do, but as more work comes in, the training can drop lower and lower down the to-do list.
Finding time for training becomes so much easier if you know from the outset that you can fit it in around your other priorities. That’s why snackable training is now so popular. By snackable training, I mean on-demand and manageable installments that you can complete in 10-minues each, so by the end of the week you have completed a whole module.
2. Short, interactive modules encourage completion and adoption of training
A key feature of snackable content is that it uses a variety of techniques such as animations, visual prompts, and audio transcripts, so that the learner interacts with the modules and does not lose interest. Also, when you’ve completed the training in installments, an effective online training platform will let you print the whole module as an aide-mémoire of the key learning.
3. Simplifying HEOR and market access terminology makes training more accessible and engaging
Market access is very jargon heavy and can be quite intimidating if you don’t understand all its terms. Great online training should provide users with an up-to-date HEOR and market access glossary.
We found this when we developed and tested our own online training platform, MALCOM (Market Access Learning Compendium). It became clear that including a glossary and simplifying the terminology was an absolute critical success factor for the cross-functional teams using the platform.
MALCOM’s glossary is a resource in its own right, helping cross-functional teams navigate the complexity and the terminology that you find in HEOR and market access.
