Thought Leader Select Renews Sustaining Sponsorship of the Medical Science Liaison Society

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - March 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Thought Leader Select (http://www.thoughtleaderselect.com/), a research and consulting firm that works with life sciences companies to optimize their relationships with key opinion leaders (KOLs) in medicine, is proud to announce it has renewed its annual sustaining sponsorship of the Medical Science Liaison Society (http://www.themsls.org) (MSL Society), the world’s first and only 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of the medical science liaison (MSL) role in the pharmaceutical and other healthcare industries.

This will mark the third year that the two organizations have been working together – a partnership forged just after the formal launch of the MSL Society in 2012. Since its establishment, the MSL Society has brought together thousands of medical affairs professionals worldwide through social media, newsletters, and global conferences.

Later this month, the MSL Society will be holding its 2015 Asia-Pac Conference in Sydney Australia. Building on the overwhelming success of its previous conferences in Philadelphia, Paris, and Boston, the three-day summit will run March 26-28, focusing on topics critical to the success of the fast-growing Medical Science Liaison profession. The conference will be hosted by Sanofi Pharmaceuticals.

“We are very excited that Thought Leader Select has decided to continue its sustaining annual sponsorship of the MSL Society,” said Dr. Samuel Dyer, Chairman of the MSL Society. “We are very proud of our collaboration and what we have accomplished together thus far including multiple publications and original reports that add real value to the global MSL community. We look forward to further collaboration and creating additional resources.”

“Our company is proud to work with the MSL Society, to promote industry collaborations centered on scientific advancement in the service of improving patient quality of life and public health outcomes,” said Paul Meade, M.SC, MPH, President of Thought Leader Select. “From the beginning of our relationship, Dr. Dyer and the leadership team at the Society have stayed true to their mission, focusing on bringing educational and networking opportunities to MSLs, and we’ve seen first-hand the organization’s tremendous global impact on the profession and industry at large. We want to continue to support that.”
