Medical Affairs doesn't have an insight problem, but an insight-to-impact problem.
Valuable KOL insights go unused, evidence gaps remain disconnected from research decisions, and promising IITs stall because of unclear ownership, weak feasibility planning, and fragmented handoffs.
The 6th MSL & IIT Strategy Summit, November 5–6 in Philadelphia, exists to connect Field Medical, External Research, and IIT leaders to repair that broken evidence chain.
Gain practical strategies to prioritize the right opportunities, select the right evidence pathway, move studies forward, and prove impact beyond activity counts.
- Turn field intelligence into research action by separating meaningful scientific signals from noise and connecting recurring KOL needs to evidence priorities.
- Define the MSL role across the IIT lifecycle so teams know when to engage, escalate, hand off, or step back before ambiguity creates delay or compliance risk.
- Choose the right evidence pathway earlier by matching each scientific question to the appropriate IIT, collaborative research, RWE, Phase IV, registry, or sponsored-study model.
- Fund stronger studies and stop weak ones sooner through better investigator qualification, feasibility assessment, protocol readiness, milestones, and escalation criteria.
- Build one connected operating model across Field Medical, Medical Affairs, External Research, Clinical Operations, Grants, Legal, and Compliance.
- Prove scientific and strategic impact with metrics that connect KOL engagement and field insights to research outputs, evidence generation, clinical confidence, and organizational decisions.
