Aspects of Medical Science Liaison Compliance and Activity-Auditing
Regulatory scrutiny has focused on the direct- and indirect drivers on MSLs' activities. Therefore, companies should realize that the symbol (what function the MSL program reports to, what advanced degrees MSLs hold) does not matter as much as the substance (what MSLs are actually expected to do, who applies the greatest pressures on MSL objectives) when it comes to evaluating activity drivers. It now looks like the golden age of regulating industry's conduct is upon Pharma.. Order this article and learn more ...

MSL Training Design with ROI in Mind

If we define Medical Science Liaison (MSL) training as enabling an MSL to adopt a desired behavior or fulfill a desired performance expectation, we can readily see how most of what we call "training" is not really training at all. Most MSL training involves information sessions where we try to dump as much information on the MSL as we can in a given time period. The agenda can look impressive and the slide decks even more so, but when the MSL leaves the training, what behaviors and performance are shown as a result of the two or three days you and the MSL have just invested?

Off-Label Information Dissemination, Safe Harbor, and MSLs

This article discusses the often misinterpreted "safe harbor" and whether MSLs enjoy such protection when disseminating off-label information.

If the employee's actions fall outside the box, it is fair game. This does not mean it is illegal per se. Order this article and learn more ...
