Pharmaceutical Executives: Get Advisory & Consulting

The MSL Institute is proof and reminder that every one of us can be an advocate for our deepest convictions. Don't ever be afraid to stand up for what is right: we may never know the extent of the difference we can make in the world." -- Jane Chin, Ph.D. Founder, MSL Institute (LINKEDIN)

Dr. Chin has been recognized for her thought leadership, high degree of integrity, and authentic concern for the best interests of MSLs and the long-term sustainability of the MSL profession. Jane Chin remains one of the most prolific author on the topic of medical science liaisons and has written close to 300 articles on the MSL role and the profession. For her contribution to the support and evolution of the MSL Profession, Dr. Chin was nominated by PharmaVoice as one of Life Science Industry's Most Inspiring 100 People in 2006.
