Amazing Resource for Aspiring MSLs!

I am so grateful to Tom and his team for producing this incredible resource for current and aspiring MSLs. I listened to every episode (now listening to them all a second time!) as I prepared to transition from clinical pharmacy practice to an MSL role. Thanks to Tom’s drive, passion, and support of the MSL community through this podcast, I now have the opportunity to pursue my goals as an MSL. I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough for anyone interested in pursuing this role!

Best MSL Podcast

Tom is a great speaker and you can hear that on his podcast.

Some episodes are interviews, others are Tom solo where he talks about various topics like imposter syndrome.

Episodes are 20-40 minutes, perfect while commuting.

If you’re interested in Medical Affairs or becoming an MSL, subscribe to this podcast.

I am so impressed with the content of these podcasts and the variety of topics and guests. I was recommended by an MSL to listen to this and I am pleased with all I have learned so far. I am going through the archives to catch up. I’m confident this will help me prepare for getting an MSL role. Thanks for taking the time and energy you put into the podcast
