The MSL role is a field-based role. It is anticipated that a MSL will spend a minimum of 60-70% of their time in the field with external customers.

The primary role of MSL is to develop and maintain contacts with Thought Leaders (TL) and Healthcare Providers (HCP) within their healthcare system. The purpose of interactions is to ensure patients have access to BMS medicines, to ensure their safe and appropriate use through peer-to-peer discussions aligned with medical strategies and needs expressed by the stakeholders. The scientific dialogue focuses on scientific/clinical information around disease management and BMS products in a fair and balanced way and includes appropriate Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) data.

**Key Responsibilities**

**External Environment and Customer Focus**
- Develop and maintain interactions with Thought Leaders, appropriate HCPs, and access stakeholders, within a given geography to answer scientific, unsolicited product and HEOR related questions. MSLs will use various channels for interactions (1:1, group presentation; remote, etc).
- Develop and execute a medical interaction plan with Key accounts (Army, Railways, CGHS etc.) as per the needs of the stakeholders and the overall medical strategy.
