Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) are key members of the affiliate medical department. These field-based roles focus on medical and scientific engagement with Abb Vie stakeholders (including research and healthcare professionals, payers, and providers). The focus of this role is on interacting with and supporting the needs of thought leaders. MSLs work to communicate information and facilitate dialogue about Abb Vie’s marketed products, compounds in development and the related disease states, in a strictly scientific, non-promotional manner, and in full compliance with applicable national laws and regulations, guidelines, codes of conduct, Abb Vie’s policies and procedures and accepted standards of best practice.

The MSL serves to enhance the scientific credibility of Abb Vie with established and emerging thought leaders, by supporting scientific dialogue and collaborations in the areas of research, medical and scientific exchange, including facilitation of requests for scientific and medical information. MSLs also participate in the initiation, oversight and follow-up of clinical studies and medical projects initiated within the Medical Department, ensuring that activities are carried out in accordance with relevant processes and procedures.
