MARCH 2020 Research Alert

This month we added five new studies to the Best Practice Database, the research repository for Best Practices, LLC. This month's new studies focus on two topical areas: new product launch and Field Medical Teams, in particular Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs). The first launch study examines investment timing for key launch activities; the remaining two launch studies are focused on oncology launches and the role of Medical Affairs. The last two new studies deal with managing MSLs in the Americas (which includes Brazil, Mexico and Canada in these studies); the first document covers resourcing field medical operations in these countries and the second study deals with alignment and assessment of medical operations.

The new Best Practices, LLC studies listed below under Newly Added Research explore how leading companies have made their operations more effective across these different areas.
