Medical science liaison

Medical science liaison

A medical science liaison (abbreviated as MSL) is a healthcare consulting professional who is employed by pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and managed care companies. Other job titles for medical science liaisons may include medical liaisons, medical science managers, regional medical scientists, and regional medical directors.

The term "MSL" is originally trademarked by UPJOHN COMPANY as "EDUCATIONAL SERVICES-NAMELY, INITIATION OF DRUG STUDIES IN LABORATORY AND CLINICAL SETTINGS AND DEVELOPMENT OF WORKSHOPS SYMPOSIA AND SEMINARS FOR PHYSICIANS, MEDICAL SOCIETIES, SPECIALTY ORGANIZATIONS, ACADEMICIANS, IN CONCERT, CONCERNED WITH DRUG RELATED MEDICAL TOPICS." in 1967 and with first use in commerce in 1967 [1], as serves as the definitive, documented source of origin of MSL term as used in healthcare today.

As the number of MSL programs in healthcare increased, subsequent peer-reviewed journal publications became available to examine the emerging role of medical affairs [2] [3] and the use of MSLs in an increasingly vertically integrated biotechnology industry [4]
