Attending the Aspiring MSLs communication workshop was one of the best investments I have made in my career. The 3 day training far exceeded my expectations in terms of what I thought I would take away from this training. I knew I would learn about the MSL role but I did not realize how many resources would be provided to us, how much individual feedback we would get, nor how open and genuine every discussion would be. The constant encouragement for us to participate and ask questions is unmatched in any training I have ever experienced and I am so grateful that Samuel, Heliana, and Jeff choose the small class size to really make each of us feel heard. It is clear that they have perfected the art of coaching aspiring MSLs.

I recently completed the Live Candidate training. I am really grateful to Samuel, Heliana, Jeff, Lisa and Breyona for this invaluable training.  After completing this training, I am very confident that I have a very clear understanding of the MSL role, and it also provided me the tools to break into this role. This is the only live candidate training which provides one on one feedback for three days to how to present which is very essential to break into this role. Before going to the training, I had hundreds of questions in my mind about what exactly MSLS do and how to break into this role, but the training was an eye-opening experience for me, and all my questions were answered in those three days. I would strongly recommend this training to all the aspiring MSLS, it worth of time and money.

I had some trepidation about the course because I thought it would primarily benefit MSL candidates in the USA. In actuality, there was very minimal coverage of American regulations and the course was almost entirely focused on universal communication and presentation skills. Even with extensive public-speaking experience, I found the course to be extremely helpful to learn what recruiters are looking for in a potential MSL, and how to speak to a mixed audience during an interview. I also learned to create a fluent PowerPoint presentation and how scientific material is presented in an objective, unbiased manner to KOLs. Being “interviewed” by current MSL managers was very enlightening and will definitely help me prepare for real interviews in the future. Samuel Dyer is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about MSL education and development, and it really shows during his lectures. After the course, Samuel has helped me to revise my CV and network with other colleagues in the MSL industry. After joining the MSL Society and completing this course, I have no doubt that I possess a significant advantage compared to MSL applicants without this training. I would strongly recommend this course to international MSL candidates, and to complete it as soon as possible before applying for MSL positions.

Thank you Samuel! It is indeed great to break into the first role with a lot of knowledge about the job and many tips on how to move forward.. Am also very happy to know that our feedback is motivating other candidates to attend the training and to see that their impression and feedbacks are even are greater than the one we had in our training!!!
Congrats to all 🙂

BIG Thank you to Dr. Samuel Dyer, Heliana Sula and Jeffry Kraemer for this extremely valuable training which immediately led me to pursue my first MSL role! Do you know what an MSL actually does & what are the basic fundamentals of this role & how you can successfully break in? You will find all your answers during the training and this is the ONLY training which can truly prepare you not just to succeed during the interviews, it also helps you to thrive as an MSL!
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” – I can highly recommend everyone to be determined, persistent, look for the best MSL job description which describes you & your current skills then for sure you will succeed just like I did. I DID IT!

I totally agree with Geoffrey and Jeremy. The training program is phenomenal. Samuel will not only teach you the skills and techniques tailored to your need, but also reshape your mentality to what make a successful MSL. Thanks again Samuel, Heliana and Jeff.

I recently attended the “Presentation and Communications Skills Certificate Program for MSL Candidates” by the MSLS, in Raleigh Meeting Dr Samuel Dyer and Ms Heliana Sula was a great experience, their determination to help you achieve your goal was encouraging. The MSLS is a fantastic resource too, so I’d highly recommend joining. I had my doubts going to the course, but within 5 minutes of sitting through it I knew this was going to be great and indeed it is the best investment you would make. I would call it a “boot camp”.

Having completed the MSL Candidate Presentation and Communication Skills Training Program yesterday, I can definitely say that this is well worth the time and money if you are considering a career as a Medical Science Liaison. The three day intensive course takes place in a small group setting with individual attention making it perfect for maximal learning, practice and exposure. The application of real world, industry wide techniques you learn leads to improved confidence and professionalism in communication skills. You will receive positive criticism, encouragement and insight into the MSL/KOL relationship and MSL role. Samuel, Heliana and Jeff are friendly professionals and guide your progress throughout the program. the one thing you should understand about this program is the tailored individual nature of the attention you receive. the opportunity to interact in a phone interview setting with MSL Managers is icing on the cake.

I recently completed the MSL Presentation and Communication Skills Program. This program is invaluable if you are considering the MSL role! It is a 3 day course that goes into great detail about the role and gives you very concrete ways to succeed. The course is very small and this enables you to get very personal attention and advice. Thanks so much to Samuel, Heliana and Jeff.

If you want to give yourself a significant advantage over other MSL candidates that you’ll be competing against and improve your presentation and communication skills, you must take part in the MSL Candidate Presentation and Communication Skills Training. I can easily say that I have never experienced this rapid of a transformation in such a short period of time. During the three-day intensive training I received invaluable insight into what it means to effectively communicate as an MSL, one-on-one constructive criticism and many opportunities to practice and apply what I learned. Samuel, Heliana,and Jeffry are a great team, and they make the experience very enjoyable. It’s obvious that they truly love what they do. Samuel often says, “If you want something, go get it.” So if you truly want to land your first MSL role or significantly improve as an effective communicator, this training will equip you to succeed.

The 3 day MSL Candidate Presentation and Communication Skills Training Program hosted by the MSL Society is absolutely incredible. With expert feedback from Samuel Dyer, Heliana Sula, and Jeffry Kraemer, you will identify the weaknesses in your presentation skills and develop methods to improve them. Additionally, you learn everything there is to know about the MSL role and will be in the best position possible for applying to MSL job openings. After completing this program, I feel significantly more prepared and confident as I enter the MSL job search than I did beforehand!

I am so honored to have been in the latest cohort for the Medical Science Liaison Society’s Presentation and Communication Skills training program! It was the absolute best experience and so worth it to take this chance on myself. When I break into my first MSL role, I promise to pay it forward and continue to help others who want to do the same! Thank you so much for creating such an amazing program for aspiring candidates like myself and I simply cannot express enough gratitude for the skills I have learned!

This is a well organized and in-depth course which trains participants to put their best foot forward in essential MSL skills! Attendees feel the full support of the MSLS society throughout the course and beyond. Upon completion, participants leave knowing exactly what the next steps are in maximizing their own value as an MSL. Absolutely Recommend!

Sincere gratitude to Dr. Samuel Dyer and team @MSLS for developing such an amazing program. It is intense, yet absolutely interactive and engaging. I learned so many important skills that I would have missed otherwise. Feeling positive and strongly recommend.

I completed the Dec 2017 Training and it was an incredibly valuable experience for me. Before attending, I spoke to several MSLs and read Samuel Dyer‘s book to gain a deeper understanding of the MSL role. I then attended the training in Durham because I saw it as the best opportunity for having 3 full days with MSL managers in a small group setting to learn more about the role and how to best prepare for it. Dr. Dyer, Jeff Kraemer, Heliana Sula, and Lisa Bourbeau provided a level of insight that surpassed my expectations. In addition to all the listed highlights and benefits of this training, Dr. Dyer and his team answered the many questions that the other attendees and I raised. The mock interviews with MSL managers provided me with instant feedback about which of my responses were right on point, and which needed improvement. Thank you MSLS team for this incredible experience. I now have the knowledge on how to pursue, attain, and begin an excellent journey in my first MSL role!

Thank you Samuel, Heliana and Jeff for the organizing this training. I would highly recommend it for anyone trying to break into their first MSL role. What I liked most is that the training is specifically focused on understanding the individual strength and weakness of each candidate and then addressing the issue. In fact, this training addresses every aspect of the interview process and also the skills required to be successful once you become an MSL. No doubt, I learned a lot through this training and feel much more confident.

Having just completed the MSL Presentation and Communication Skills Program this past weekend, I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to make the transition into their first MSL role, as well as new MSLs. This program provides great insight into the role of the MSL, the overall landscape in which an MSL works, and provides a phenomenal small-group atmosphere with a lot of personalized interaction to help build and enhance your communication and presentation skills. Thank you Samuel, Heliana and Jeff for providing such a great program and atmosphere to learn!

I just returned from the 3-day program in Durham, NC and am still feeling absolutely inspired and energized from the experience. There is absolutely nothing like this program out there, and I feel honored to have been able to participate. Samuel Dyer and Heliana Sula have created a program that challenged, inspired and redefined how I approach presentations and communication. Any self-doubt I may have had prior to this conference was replaced with tips, tools and newly discovered skills to continue my pursuit of becoming an MSL. This was hands-down the most effective educational program I have ever attended.

After my battle with MSL job search for over a year, I decided to take a chance and invested in the MSL Candidate Presentation and Communication Skills Training. I can confidently say that it was the best decision I made because 6 months later I broke into my first MSL role. Yes, like many others, I DID IT. It would not have been possible without the course, Dr. Dyer’s book and the boundless support and guidance I received from the MSLS team. The course was very meticulously designed to cover all the aspects of the role you need to know; it was intense and hands-on. It laid a strong foundation to my understanding of the MSL role. Everything we were taught in those 3 days along with the ‘book’ were very helpful during the whole journey, including job search and the interview process. I highly recommend the training to all MSL candidates.

Yesterday, I completed the 3 day MSL candidate presentation and communication skills training given by The MSLS. One word: Invaluable! Lots of aspects of the MSL world explained and plenty of intense presentation skills coaching. Thank you, Samuel Dyer for your invaluable coaching, Thank you, Heliana Sula and Jeffry Kraemer for making this possible. Thank you to everyone for the support, feedback and fun. Hope to meet you all very soon! Highly recommended for anyone trying to break into the MSL world! There is nothing that compares to learning from the best of the best: Samuel Dyer!

Thank you, Samuel, Heliana and Jeff for putting together a very educational 3-day workshop on communication and presentation skills! The workshop offers everything that it is designed for and more. I would absolutely recommend this to any candidate trying to break into the MSL role.

Dear Samuel, Heliana, Jeff, Lisa, and Breyona,
Thank you for your time, expertise, advise and mentoring. But most of all, thank you for your honesty and authenticity. The course was well organized, challenging, and at times, humbling. To all MSLs and aspiring MSLs, this course is a must. I am grateful for the skills I acquired and the knowledge of my deficits (on which I am currently working). Samuel, Heliana, Jeff, Lisa, and Breyona — you are all amazing and loving people, and I am lucky to be part of your MSLS family.

I would like to thank the entire MSLS team for the invaluable support they have provided us during the communication training course. I am a basic life scientist (Ph.D.), and before joining the course, I had wrong perceptions regarding the MSL role in the pharma and what is needed to break into this profession today. After the intense threes days training course, I feel empowered with the impactful knowledge that Dr. Dyer and the entire MSLS team have taught us, and I feel more confident to take all the required steps to become an MSL. Thank you for your generosity.

A mindset experience to deconstruct certitudes and synthesize new concepts about the way to make yourself in a peer-to-peer objective dialogue. An environment with plenitude of respect by diversity of ideas. A constant attention from the instructor team so that each participant can reinvent himself. An outstanding recommendation for anyone wishing to start a career as a Medical Science Liaison.

I recently completed the presentation skills training course for aspiring MSLs, and found it to be a very worthwhile endeavor.  I came away with tools I previously did not have that will benefit me in my career.  In addition to sharpening my presentation skills, the insights related to the MSL field and how to break into the role were invaluable.  I really appreciated the time and effort from outside hiring managers to conduct mock interviews and provide valuable feedback. It was also great having the opportunity to meet and network with others in the field, and have this shared experience as we forge new paths in our careers.
