What is a Medical Science Liaison? (MSL)

Hey everyone, my name is Sibin, and today I'll be discussing the topic of Medical Science Liaisons (MSL)
I've broken this video into a few parts:
- Job Description
- Location
- Travel
- Salary
- Experience
One thing I'd like to note that may not have been clear in the video is that clinical experience is highly valued in the MSL role as well. Industry experience isn't always necessary, especially if you may be in a role like a clinical pharmacist; the clinical experience is valuable.

[@arathyradhakrishnan1118]

This was really helpful, thankyou for this video

[@jd3330]

Solid video sir. Im a 2nd year PhD student and I have been looking into roles after this degree.

[@deema8151]

Very informative video thank you !

[@doutorabrussa2655]

Thank you!!

[@aroojhussain1155]

Hey Sibin. So good to see you creating awareness. Just had a quick question from where did you do your fellowship from and are fellowships paid??

[@Scienceflow-xh9kj]

Great 😀explanation

[@mampuful]

Fantastic video, love it! 👏🏼 However, I would disagree on the fact that majority of MSLs come through med info or med affairs fellowship. I’ve become an MSL after PhD research and business development roles. I also know a lot of MSLs who got their first MSL jobs right out of academia as postdoc researchers or out of academic centers as clinical pharmacists.

[@lukestuart1913]

encouraging to know! PhD graduate and current clinical scientist here looking to break into the role :)

Hey Sibin we haven't heard from you in a minute. I hope you're doing well. Hoping to see more informational/education videos. I'm currently a P1 in Pharm school, and my pharmacist in the retail sector are telling me to leave. I can't reach any staff/inpatient hospital pharmacist to see their POV. There's even less information about Pharma pharmacy. So whenever you get a chance, please let us know how you're doing on your journey. It's very inspirational and informative.

[@obaidkazmi4199]

Pharmacists in retail are mentally unstable tbh. The retail environment is toxic. Don't listen to them and be discouraged.

[@isaaco1804]

Thanks for this video :) What type of rare diseases do you work on?

[@valanaba1389]

Would love to hear about similar roles to MSL!!

[@psybin_]

Awesome! I've definitely been slacking so seeing your comment gives me a little "umph" =]

[@gchambs]

Great video, thanks! What's an example of an insight that you get from talking to KOLs? In other words what information do MSLs get that the company find most valuable?

[@mathewryan7309]

Nice information I would like to know more about the MSL jobs

[@eirasophia21]

Can you further explain your fellowship experience? I have seen most job descriptions for MSL requiring at least some years of experience. Also great video!

[@brickseeboo]

Hi Sibin, thank you for your informative video! Do you have any insight for a someone with 18 years of Clinical Research Associate and study management experience to venture into an MSL role? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@haashimasif1835]

Hi, I’m in year 12 and currently studying my a levels at the moment. I was just wondering if it’s possible to become an msl by doing a degree in neuroscience?

[@zacharyspurlin957]

Of course. The area of study is less important than simply having general research and/or clinical experience.

[@procrastinateXrok]

How can I get started? is there an internship or training?

[@kaym4389]

Thank you. Are you on LinkedIn?

[@user-yr7sb2cg4v]

Which background or education I have to have to become msl?

[@user-zh5mp5zt4c]

Nice video. I would like to ask a question. So I am a pharmacist in Indonesia. So for example, I would like to start a career MSL abroad. Excluding experience, skills, etc. Is it necessary to obtain a pharmacist license in the country where I would like to work as an MSL? Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@gcomp37]

Can an MD straight out of med school with no residency or clinical experience land a good MSL job?

[@ayeshaejaz4076]

That’s my question as well

[@vincentkingsdale8334]

Why go to med school if you dont want to treat patients for at least a few years?

[@i.i1215]

I’m a primary care pharmacist looking to transition into MSL. Hopefully I’ll look back at this comment in a year and be successful

[@TheSantos173]

Hot career eh?!

[@ScriptedHearts]

Okay you've sold it to me bro 😅

[@fashionlavender4573]

Hi Sibin, I will like to connect by email. Your email is not going through. I am an MD
