Medical Science Liaison Society to Hold 2018 Women's Summit March 8-9 in San Diego on International Women's Day

RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Medical Science Liaison Society (MSL Society), the only 501c3 non-profit organization exclusively dedicated to the global medical science liaison (MSL) profession, announced that it will hold its 2018 MSL Women's Summit on March 8-9 at the Coronado Island Marriott Resort and Spa in in San Diego, CA.

The MSL Society Women's Summit recognizes the contributions that women make to the MSL field, and empowers and connects women working in the profession.

According to Dr. Linda Traylor, VP of Medical Affairs, Biodesix, and moderator of this year's summit, attending the event will have an immediate positive impact on women in their MSL career. Stated Dr. Traylor: "Learning to evaluate your personal goals in context of professional expectations associated with the MSL career path, provides clarity that can only come from associating with professional women that have walked the same path."

Dr. Traylor further added that there is tremendous value in attending this event, regardless of gender: "Ultimately the MSL role is a leadership role with heavy performance expectations, independent of gender. I have never seen gender on any list of characteristics associated with effective leadership. Internalizing this concept is the true value of any professional women's summit."

"We chose to launch our annual Women's Summit on March 8 to coincide with International Women's Day," commented Dr. Samuel Dyer, CEO of the MSL Society. "The Summit is also the ideal opportunity to present findings of the Global MSL Salary & Compensation Survey, explore the degree to which gender pay gap differences exist in the profession, and discuss strategies for leveling the compensation for MSL professionals."
