A subspecialty is a narrow field of professional knowledge and skills within a specific profession and is most commonly used to describe an increasingly more diverse role. Is the MSL role poised to undergo a phase of sub-specialization? Who/What is driving this sub-specialization of MSL roles? External stakeholders? Internal Stakeholders? The evolving healthcare system? Will sub-specialization dilute the MSL role or strengthen the profession for decades to come? This session is intended to address these questions and provide examples of current diversification and sub-specialization in the MSL role.
Learning Objective :
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Describe the current scope of MSL roles and predict future trends
- Explore implications for expansion of MSL Sub-Specialization
- Develop an understanding of how to implement potential changes within their MSL organizations
