Medical Science Liaison-Central Region

MSL Summary MSLs serve as a strategic link between Harrow and our Scientific Partners, as they are expected to develop and maintain peer-to-peer relationships with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in Ophthalmology and Optometry. The MSLs strategically support the development and appropriate use/adoption of Harrow pharmaceutical products through evidence-based scientific exchange and by seeking external insights to further inform and shape the company’s understanding of the products, therapeutic area, and clinical practice. Additionally, the MSL's provide general medical/healthcare information in given therapeutic area(s) to practitioners and internal Harrow associates. MSL's also respond to unsolicited requests for medical information, scientific exchange/insights, detailed working knowledge of Harrow pharmaceutical products, current medical/scientific research, and publications. The MSL ensures appropriate dissemination of clinical and scientific information regarding marketed and pipeline products in a timely, compliant, and customer-focused manner. The MSL will also support the authorship of scientific materials, including papers, presentations, and other content.
