The AI Reckoning in Field Medical

Only 6% of MSLs believe AI will significantly affect the MSL role. Scott Thompson and Linda Traylor argue that figure underestimates what is already happening inside Field Medical. Drawing on dozens of AI workshops with Medical Affairs teams, more than thirty deployed AI applications, and over 25 years of MSL and Field Medical leadership experience, Scott and Linda walk through what AI is already doing inside Field Medical, where MSL time is most vulnerable, and the practical steps Field Medical leaders should take to evolve their teams from data presenters to belief architects.

In this webinar:

• The MSL Society survey finding that triggered the conversation, and why 6% is dramatically underestimated
• Where AI is already deployed inside Field Medical, in production rather than in pilot
• The math: why 70 to 80% of MSL time falls into the activities most vulnerable to AI displacement
• Why the medical community is adopting AI faster than the pharmaceutical industry
• What AI does well versus the human capabilities that cannot yet be replicated, including trust, accountability, and reading a room
• The mindset shift from data presenter to belief architect, and what it looks like in practice
• A five-step Survival Playbook for Field Medical leaders to apply this week
• Live audience exchange on goal-setting around belief change and care gap measurement
