ANNOUNCING UPCOMING FREE EXPERT WEBINAR! 📢

Join us Tuesday, May 19th from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET for the Expert Webinar Series where our panelists discuss “Traditional vs. Living Algorithms: How MSLs Can Maximize Value and Impact with KOLs Through Better Clinical Understanding”

Description:

As the volume and complexity of clinical data continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace, MSLs are expected to engage in more meaningful, evidence-driven, and timely scientific exchange with KOLs and HCPs. Traditional guideline-based algorithms remain foundational, but they often fall short in reflecting how clinical decisions are made in real-world practice.

This webinar explores the emerging role of Living Algorithms from Open Medicine and how they complement traditional resources by providing continuously updated, expert-driven clinical reasoning at the point of care. More importantly, the session will focus on what this means for MSLs.

Participants will gain practical insights into how these tools can enhance KOL and HCP engagements. The discussion will focus on how MSLs can use this evolving approach to deliver immediate value to KOLs. During the webinar the panel will address the following:

-Traditional vs. Living Algorithms: What Has Changed and Why It Matters for MSLs
-How KOLs and HCPs Are Thinking and Making Clinical Decisions Today
-Practical Applications for MSLs, From Preparation to High-Impact Engagement
-Translating Scientific Exchange into Meaningful Value for MSLs and Their Organizations

Our distinguished panelists include:

Samuel Dyer, MD, PhD
CEO & Chairman of the Board
MSL Society

Simon Chowdhury, MD, PhD
Chief Medical Officer
Open Medicine

This webinar is sponsored by Open Medicine, and will be recorded and made available for free exclusively for Student, Professional, and Organizational members of the MSL Society.

What if a KOL pushes back...
And suddenly, everything you prepared feels tested in real time?

Here’s the truth most MSLs don’t realize:
It’s not the objection that breaks trust.
It’s how you respond to it.

Too often, we see this happen:
• More data → instead of real clarity
• Fast answers → instead of real understanding
• Trying to win → instead of being useful

And the result?
The conversation shuts down… instead of opening up.

The fastest way to lose trust?
Defending before understanding.

If you want to handle these moments with confidence
not reactively, but strategically, join our upcoming virtual training:

You know HEOR.
But do you use it… when it actually matters?

Because KOLs aren’t asking:
“Does it work?”
They’re asking:
“Is it worth it?”

If you stay in data mode, you disappear.
If you translate it into value, you lead.

Same AI. Same access.
Very different outcomes.

So why are some MSLs becoming more influential…
while others still sound exactly the same?

Because AI isn’t the advantage.
How you use it is.

Right now, most MSLs are using AI to:
→ Summarize
→ Speed things up
→ Double-check information
And then wondering why their impact hasn’t changed.

But the top MSLs?

They’re using AI to:
💠Walk into KOL meetings with stronger angles
💠Elevate scientific conversations in real time
💠Surface insights others haven’t even connected yet

That’s the difference.

And it’s exactly what we’re breaking down in this live training.
You’ll learn how to:
• Use AI for smarter pre-call planning
• Communicate complex science with clarity and confidence
• Turn everyday interactions into strategic insights

⚠️Same tools. Different thinking. Different results.

You’re sharing the science… but are you shaping the decisions?

The MSL role is evolving.
Today’s KOLs don’t just want data…
They want to understand value, access, and real-world impact

Without HEOR, it’s easy to stay in clinical conversations.
With HEOR, you can confidently navigate discussions that actually influence decisions.

You’re using AI…
So why hasn’t your impact changed?

Because using AI isn’t the advantage.
Applying it strategically is.

Most MSLs use AI to:
• Summarize papers
• Build slides
• Save time

But high-impact MSLs use it to:
• Challenge KOL thinking
• Uncover deeper insights
• Drive meaningful conversations

If you sound informed but not insightful… this might be why.

Most MSL onboarding fails for one simple reason:

It focuses on the product and the science… not how to create impact.
New MSLs are trained on mechanisms of action.

They review clinical data.
They learn the details.
But many are never taught how to use that information in a way that influences meaningful scientific exchange with KOLs.

And that is where the gap exists.

Introducing our 5-Day Live MSL Onboarding Training Program designed to help new and transitioning MSLs move beyond knowledge and become confident, high-impact field professionals.

What makes this different?

This is not passive learning or slide-based training. It is practical, real-world skill development led by industry experts Samuel Dyer, MD, PhD, Cherie Hyder, PharmD, MSL-BC, and Linda Traylor focused on what actually drives value in the field.

Training Details:
• Date: May 18th – 22nd, 2026
• Time: 9 AM – 5 PM EST
• Duration: 5 full days of immersive learning

What you will gain:
• How to lead high-value, strategic KOL conversations
• How to translate scientific knowledge into meaningful impact
• How to position yourself as a trusted scientific partner, not just a presenter
• How to consistently add value during every KOL engagement
• How to gather actionable insights and understand why they are critical to Medical Affairs strategy
• Practical frameworks you can apply immediately in the field

Because successful MSLs do more than understand the science.
They use it to shape discussions, uncover insights, and support better decisions.

If you are serious about becoming a high-impact MSL, or developing a stronger, more effective team, this is where it begins!

Most MSLs are highly confident discussing clinical data.

Far fewer are confident when the conversation shifts to value, access, and real-world impact.

That gap matters.

Because today, healthcare decisions are not driven by efficacy alone.

They are shaped by cost-effectiveness, real-world outcomes, and the ability to clearly communicate value. The MSLs who can confidently integrate HEOR into their discussions are the ones who stand out.

They elevate conversations, strengthen their credibility, and become more impactful to healthcare providers and internal stakeholders.

If you recognize gaps in any of these areas, you are not alone. This is one of the most common development areas we see globally across MSL teams.

That is exactly why we created this program.

Our upcoming Virtual HEOR Training for MSLs is designed to help you:

-Understand HEOR concepts in a practical, usable way
-Confidently incorporate value-based discussions into your engagements
-Translate complex economic and outcomes data into clear, meaningful insights
-Strengthen your impact beyond clinical conversations

If you are looking to elevate your role and remain relevant in an increasingly value-driven healthcare environment, this is a critical skill set.
