We also warmly welcome anyone who wants to learn more about these specialized subjects for other reasons – with or without a subsequent IHK examination.
A self-study course for anyone who wants to learn the subject matter independently at a more favourable price.
1.IPS Online Training Medical Science Liaison Manager (MSL, MSLM)
The role of a Medical Science Liaison Manager (MSLM, MSL) or Medical Manager is a relatively new medical-scientific interface between drug development and authorization, regulatory stakeholders and key opinion leaders, marketing and sales. The Medical Science Liaison Manager (MSLM, MSL) was only created after the millennium in response to the increasing complexity of healthcare regulations. The increased requirements for additional drug benefits and regulatory compliance in drug development necessitate specialized communication between drug companies and the various interest groups, such as authorities, payers and professional medical associations. This necessity has led to the creation of a separate job description, that of Medical Liaison Manager, MLM. The addition of the word “Science” to the title and the letter “S” in the abbreviation of the name came about somewhat later, primarily to emphasise the scientific nature of the job. Nowadays, the most common abbreviations are “MSL” and “MSLM”.
