Medical Science Liaison (MSL) is a vital role in pharmaceutical & health-care industries. MSL ensures that products are utilized effectively. Scientific experts to internal colleagues, all establish and maintain peer-to-peer relationships with leading physicians/Key Opinion Leaders (KOL). After covid, the team DOL (Digital Opinion Leader) has also grown in the industry.
Typically, there are five to seven Congress annually and nearly 10k abstracts of manuscripts. MSL needs to read these Congress abstracts and point out to MA team as to what is important and priority for them to focus upon. Also, later in the process KOL identification is also very crucial. KOLs are different from traditional influencers, in that they offer meaningful influence and not just a high fan count.
