When is it in a company's best interest to consider outsourcing their MSL team?
There is an increasing trend focusing on the outsourced model when it comes to building and managing Medical Science Liaison (MSL) teams. Why would life science and biotech organizations consider the option of outsourcing your field based medical experts?
 
Answers to this question come in multiple forms: to determine whether a team is warranted before making further investment, uncertainty surrounding approval, the product may be in a new therapeutic area for the company, budgetary restrictions, hiring freezes or limited internal resources.
