RESETTING MEDICAL COMMUNICATIONS
We exist to help our clients bring evidence-based medical communications to physicians and patients to help them understand complex clinical data and make optimal treatment decisions.
An independent, global medical affairs agency. Our goal is to develop long-standing, mutually satisfying partnerships with our healthcare industry clients.
Our clients choose us because we are revitalizing medical communications and placing authenticity at the core of everything we do. We are taking a different road by reimagining how we work with clients, rethinking the physician-patient relationship, and redefining the employee experience.
THE TWIST WAY
Authentic medical communications start with having a clear set of values that actively guides the way our agency operates. We believe that creating a culture in which talented people can grow and flourish enables us to do our best work. We build curious and well-balanced teams and place great importance on work-life balance. This means Twist Medical employees are actively and passionately engaged in the business, and operate in an environment of confidence and empowerment.

EMPATHY FOR OUR CLIENTS
At Twist Medical, we strive for an authentic connection with our clients. Our goal is to understand not only the intricacies of each deliverable but also the working environment and unique set of circumstances in which each client operates. When we achieve this connection, we truly understand the client’s needs better than any other company and can provide unsurpassed customer experience, which forms the basis of mutually beneficial, long-term partnerships.
UPHOLD THE TEAM
Everyone at Twist Medical makes a difference, and everyone at Twist Medical deserves to feel that his or her contribution is valued. We all root for one another, appreciating great work and providing support and encouragement. We place very high value on collaboration and esprit de corps.
ACCOUNTABILITY
At Twist Medical, it’s not enough to do our own jobs well. Making sure our clients are receiving an exceptional customer experience is everyone’s job. So if something needs fixing, we all own the problem and together we make things right.
CURIOUS SPIRIT
We understand the moments when projects, concepts, and learning can be ambiguous. We know that, by default, effective people try to make the ambiguous tangible in individual ways. We allow space for ambiguity as long as possible and encourage our team members to be curious and explore many different ways to solve problems. We hire people who value curiosity, challenge perceived wisdom, and find alternative solutions.
GROW OUR PEOPLE
We aim to grow ourselves and our business purpose. We embrace change, and every person has the opportunity to develop and contribute. Twist Medical is a company in which self-reflection, self-improvement, and self-development are highly valued. It’s also a company that invests in training and development. By investing in our people, we create teams that can deliver superior levels of service.
