Un VM (Visitador Médico) todos sabemos que es...Es algo "consustancial" con Salas de Espera en Centros de Salud, Ambulatorios, Hospitales. Es fácil identificarlo.
Un MSL (Medical Science Liaisons) es más dificil de reconocer. Es de más "reciente creación".
Es como un "grupo comando", especializado en trabajos "off-label"...
