What is Medical Affairs?
Medical Affairs is a strategic function within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer healthcare industries that communicates scientific data to healthcare professionals, payers and policymakers. Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) bridge the gap between the company and external stakeholders, ensuring informed decision-making for the safe and effective use of treatments. In turn, MSLs gather insights during field visits to guide organizational strategy, playing a crucial role in changing and evolving clinical practices based on evidence-based medicine.
