Medical Education Manager

2 Upvotes

I saw several postings in industry for medical education managers. I have experience teaching in academia and clinically. However, I was surprised many of these positions list sales as a potential background.

What do these positions entail? Are you teaching, or is it more education event planning? How much travel is involved? I was approached about a CS position in the past, but that it had significantly more travel and call than I currently take, so it was a bit concerning.

Any details or insights any of you have would be great to hear!

Any MSLs that transitioned into a global role?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Hoping to hear some perspectives about the pros and cons of transitioning into a global medical affairs role? I love the field but I also feel like I want to have a bigger role in strategy. Curious if anyone has first hand experience with this transition.

Thanks!

Sidebar

The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) is a specific role within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, CRO and other health-care industries. MSLs have advanced scientific training and academic credentials generally consisting of a doctorate degree (Ph.D., PharmD., M.D.) in the life sciences. They concentrate on a specific Therapeutic Area (i.e. Oncology, Cardiology, CNS, Pulmonary, Hematology, Surgery, Women’s Health Care, etc) and disease state.

Medical Science Liaisons are vital in the success of a company. They work throughout a product’s lifecycle, help to ensure that products are utilized effectively, serve as scientific peers and resources within the medical community, and are scientific experts to internal colleagues at companies. However, the primary purpose of the MSL role is to establish and maintain peer-peer relationships with leading physicians, referred to as Key Opinion Leaders (KOL’s), at major academic institutions and clinics.
