Medical Science Liaisons
Forging Paths with Key Opinion Leaders
As the pharmaceutical industry continues its dynamic evolution and the investment required for product introductions continues to rise, utilizing Medical Science Liaisons (MSL) on your pre- and post-launch team to generate advocacy among key opinion leaders (KOLs) is more critical than ever before.
Medical Science Liaisons from Quintiles are highly experienced Pharm.D., M.D., D.D. or Ph.D. professionals who have a deep understanding of the local healthcare environment and have built solid relationships with an extended network of KOLs. We can also staff certified nurses as MSLs when needed, for example, in specific therapeutic areas such as oncology. We are nimble enough to deploy teams rapidly on an international or local level and possess a firm knowledge of the critical regulations governing either scenario.
