The OVERLOOKED KOL

In this episode, Tom Caravela hosts Leticia Price and Dawn O'Reilly to discuss the critical role of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in the medical field. They explore the educational backgrounds and capabilities of APPs, emphasizing their often underutilized potential as Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). Strategies for effectively identifying and engaging APPs are shared, along with advice for Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) transitioning to Medical Science Liaison (MSL) roles. The conversation highlights the importance of networking, resource utilization, and effective time management. The episode concludes with insights into the value of APPs in medical progress and territory planning.
