Ensures applicable interactions are aligned with enterprise and medical strategies and ultimately serve to ensure patients have access to BMS medicines through their efforts to ensure the medical community is fully apprised of their safe and effective use. Additionally, the MSL will work with the medical community to address other pertinent scientific related questions not limited to approved assets and indications.

The MSL will engage in educational dialogue with relevant HCPs and share relevant clinical evidence and information based on the physicians' needs and in accordance with the field medical plan. The MSL will also be responsible for serving on a scheduled, standing basis as "Medical on Call" - virtually engaging treating physicians in the community, facilitated by their commercial counterpart, TAS (Therapeutic Area Specialist), to answer unsolicited off-label and technically complex questions in real time.

• Understanding of scientific publications, clinical trial design and process.

Key competencies desired:

• Ability to engage in a dialogue about data in a compelling, fair and balanced way and explain in a manner that resonates with TLs/HCPs.
