Preparing Field Medical for Launch: Challenges and Strategies for Pharma Companies

In Today’s episode Tom Caravela and I explore the question–what does a perfect MSL organization to support a product launch look like?

I’ve knonw Tom for years, and asked him to share his unique perspective on field medical organizations.

In addition to being a certified speaker, trainer and coach as well as a podcaster, Tom is the founder of an Executive Search Firm called The Carolan Group. They’re known for their niche expertise for specializing in the recruitment and placement of highly scientific professionals called Medical Science Liaisons. Tom is also the host of the popular medical affairs podcast, MSL Talk, which now has over 250,000 listeners in over 80 countries. 

We talk about:

• Introduction to the role of a leader in field medical
• Areas that support field medical
• Ideal candidate qualifications
• Timeframe for filling a position
• Importance of leadership in forming a team
• Factors affecting the number of MSLs needed
• Types of MSLs
