About The Position
The Clinical Diagnostics Liaison (CDL) is a field-based professional within the Medical Affairs organization, serving as part of a clinically focused team. The CDL plays a critical role in delivering disease-state education, increasing awareness of the company and its clinical programs, and driving patient identification efforts within the medical community. CDLs provide clinical and disease awareness support for a rare disease program by engaging healthcare providers in meaningful, compliant clinical exchange. Key responsibilities include calling on targeted healthcare professionals with the objective of directly engaging providers and staff, communicating relevant disease-state information, and facilitating early diagnosis and identification of appropriate patients for clinical trial consideration.
