69. From Academia to Medical Science Liaison feat. Dr. Marina Dykhne We recently had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Marina Dykhne, Medical Science Liaison at Amgen Pharmaceuticals and former faculty at West Coast University, on the OCPhA Podcast. Her journey and experiences from academia to industry are truly inspiring! From clinical rotations and academic teaching to her dynamic role as an MSL, Marina shared invaluable insights that can benefit anyone interested in pharmacy, academia, or the pharmaceutical industry. Here are three key takeaways from our conversation: Transitioning from Academia to Industry : Marina's shift from being a clinical faculty to becoming an MSL at Amgen highlights the importance of transferable skills—from deciphering complex data and communicating with clinicians to staying updated with the latest clinical guidelines. Dynamic Day-to-Day of an MSL : The role of a Medical Science Liaison is far from routine. It involves constant learning, effective communication, and a lot of on-the-go engagements with key opinion leaders (KOLs) across the healthcare landscape. Pathways into Pharmaceutical Industry : Whether through direct routes like industry fellowships or via clinical experience, there are multiple avenues for pharmacists to explore roles within the pharmaceutical industry. It’s a field rich with opportunities beyond the traditional pharmacy roles. Follow Dr. Dykhne on LinkedIn: As always, you can visit us at or you can email us at info@ocpha.org .
