A Phased Approach & Vision to More Impactful Interactions
Virtually every report on successfully transforming Medical Affairs to a strategic pillar by 2025 cites it being contingent upon strengthening the impact of MSL engagement with KOLs and medical communities. However, despite these warnings, many companies continue to allow MSL engagement to remain a tactical activity rather than a strategic approach. While investments in MSLs grow, the return on those investments remain uncertain given the lack of measurable outcomes and impacts. Furthermore, few companies are executing a defined path forward from this current state to a future state where each MSL interaction is an opportunity to deliver fully realized value. This educational webinar will propose a high-level framework and a practical starting point for this mission-critical path forward for MSL engagement.
Several prominent studies and reports will be highlighted to articulate the rising importance of MSLs and their engagement with KOLs and various medical communities, as well as to quantify the continual growth in MSL activity and investments. Physician preferences for obtaining their scientific and medical information in general will also be explored along with specific implications of those preferences for MSL engagement.
A practical and achievable starting point on a path toward strategic MSL engagement by 2025 will be outlined. Real-world examples will be used to describe and clarify how to proceed on this path and where to start, including technologies that will enable and drive it. This starting point will then be amplified upon to form a vision into the future that ultimately transforms MSL engagement to the impactful, outcomes-based approach needed for future success. In doing so, other important use cases beyond MSL engagement that can benefit from the same path forward will be briefly discussed, thereby expanding its overall value proposition.
Please join us to learn from industry experts how to forge a path forward within your own organization toward more impactful MSL engagement and transforming Medical Affairs into a genuinely strategic function by 2025.
