Indeed, the explosion of small biopharmaceutical companies—coupled with their subsequent acquisition by more established, global pharmaceutical corporations—has resulted in the emergence of new business challenges facing medical liaisons requiring novel skill sets. This forum is designed to examine the medical liaison role given the internal/external business environment and to provide insight into how the role may evolve in the context of organizational growth and acquisition.
Learning Objective : Describe the business challenges facing medical liaisons from the perspective of both smaller biopharmaceutical companies and larger, global organizations; Identify common core medical liaison activities and how they may evolve and change within the context of organizational growth and acquisition; Discuss novel skill sets required to successfully address these issues across entities of various sizes and structure in the current market landscape.
