Today I have Sue Watson, Amy Misnik, and Vanessa Jacobsen joining me for our first ever MSL field leadership panel QA session. They are the first people that came on as guests, the pioneers of the MSL Talk podcast.   In this episode we discuss: For aspiring MSLs with experience mainly in academia, what specific types of industry experiences are best to obtain prior to applying for the first MSL role How does a person approach a potential mentor and how open are Medical Affair leaders to accept this request and what is the eligible criteria for a mentee How can one transition to MSL position and make an impact for the first 3 - 6 months Expecting the role to change in a post-COVID world How does an aspiring MSL stand out vs. a seasoned MSL who’s going through the same rounds of interview Piece of advice if they would go back and give themselves as new graduates  Does certification really give an aspiring or an experienced MSL an advantage
