Hi everyone! I was recently let go from my dream job as an MSL at my dream company- it’s been a huge bummer. I’d love to continue being an MSL but also have always been passionate about patient advocacy/health equity. Does anyone have any advice on how to break into the patient advocacy space with experience as an MSL and a clinical pharmacist prior? Any help is appreciated!

I think your background would be bring valuable perspective to a patient advocacy role. Advocacy is all about relationships, so I would recommend looking within a TA that you’ve built some patient/professionals society/medical society relationships in.

Thank you! I agree, the relationship building aspect is transferable but I unfortunately haven’t had interactions with those groups, I was only in my MSL role for a year
