Welcome to another episode of Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD—a podcast where we dive deep into what happens after the PhD and how you can leap from academia into a diverse universe of fulfilling careers. This week, host David Mendes sits down in-person with Rayana Luna, a seasoned expert in medical affairs with over a decade of experience spanning multiple leadership roles, industry transitions, and a consulting business: Your MSL Coach. In this in-depth conversation, Rayana shares her journey from doing a PhD and feeling locked into the traditional academic path, to discovering the world of medical science liaison (MSL) roles and climbing the career ladder in medical affairs. She opens up about the realities of breaking into the industry, the variety of entry-level roles available (including MSLs, medical writers, and more), and sheds light on salary expectations—spoiler: they're generally higher than postdoc salaries! Rayana also addresses common hurdles PhDs face when shifting careers, like learning to “sell” yourself beyond an academic CV, mastering LinkedIn, and networking with authenticity. Packed with actionable advice, inspiring stories, and a deep dive into what medical affairs teams actually do in big pharma, this episode is a must-listen for anyone considering taking their research skills Beyond the Thesis. Rayana Luna's career journey is a testament to growth and adaptability within the medical affairs field. Starting out, Rayana observed that roles like medical science liaison (MSL), medical advisor, and medical writer not only offered higher starting salaries than traditional postdoctoral positions, but also provided abundant opportunities for advancement. Over the span of ten years, Rayana changed positions six times, quickly climbing the career ladder by focusing on collaborative environments and personal fulfillment over prestigious titles or starting pay. Her story encourages valuing meaningful work and positive teamwork, reinforcing that career progression comes naturally when you do what you love and build strong professional relationships. What we covered in the interview:  Career Progression is Fast & Rewarding: Entry-level roles like medical affairs fellow or MSL may seem humble, but with consistent performance and strategic networking, career (and salary) growth can be rapid. “Don't get hung up on initial titles; focus on enjoying your work and collaborating with great people.”  Networking & Self-Advocacy are Essential: Start intentional networking early (don't wait until you need a job!) and tailor your LinkedIn to what you WANT to do—not just what you've done. Your visibility and authentic connections can open unexpected doors.  Your Advanced Degree Matters: Finishing your PhD is increasingly required for most roles in medical affairs and opens many more doors for your industry trajectory. Don't give up in the final stretch—your perseverance will pay off.  If you're prepping for your next step, focus on crafting a standout LinkedIn profile, invest in building genuine connections, and keep an open (and growth-oriented) mindset. There's a whole world of opportunity beyond the bench!   See the resources section below for her links!

  Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat74 Target Audience This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need With the 2023 DEA regulation changes, physicians can now treat patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) without requiring an X waiver. As the demand for treatment providers rises, primary care providers are pivotal in addressing this gap by initiating OUD treatments. Given that primary care often serves as the first point of contact within the healthcare system, it's crucial for providers to identify patients who could benefit from OUD treatment. However, many providers fail to recognize these patients and may refer them elsewhere, missing opportunities for immediate care. Objectives Describe screening guidelines and key diagnostic criteria for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Discuss effective medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (MOUD). Review treatment strategies for MOUD treatment including guidelines for detox in the primary care setting. ModeratorJames T.

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Michelle Rizzo, a trained journalist who turned her curiosity and life-long interest in medicine into a thriving career as a CME writer. Michelle currently works as an associate medical director and senior writer at a boutique CME content company, where she often finds herself writing and researching about rare diseases. She was kind enough to give us a glimpse into her writing process and share some actionable tips for getting into the field without a clinical background. Here are three key takeaways from the episode.Lead with the patient perspective: The ultimate goal of all CME content is to improve patient outcomes. So put your energy and effort into understanding how conditions impact the daily lives and trajectories of patients, beyond what the data alone may tell you.Write with empathy: Behind every study are stories of clinicians and patients, and once you tell them, those stories will be read by others. So put intention into making content that's clear and takes into consideration your subjects' points of view and the audience's needs. Don't be afraid to over-research: Time constraints are always a concern, but if you're writing about a rare condition or a subject you're not familiar with, strive to learn as much as you can before putting pen to paper. This episode has nuggets of wisdom for everyone, whether you're only thinking about getting into CME or have been in the industry for decades.

Start with the learner's experience and where they are in their learning journey. Note their preferences for engaging with learning materials.2. There's a continuum of active learning strategies to engage learners from low to high intensity, from think-pair-share at one end of the continuum to project-based assignments at the other. 3. As we know in CME/CE, it's vital to align activities to learning outcomes. For example: If critical thinking is a key outcome, use case studies.4. Consider developing your content via inclusive course design principles that use Universal Design for Learning, draw on a diversity of voices, and offer learners choices about which content is most relevant and how to access that content. 5. Finally, mobile and microlearning are expanding in CME/CE. These are terrific tools for creating bite-sized content for busy professionals to learn as needed. An example might be 2-minute lessons that health professionals can complete on their phones and apply right away.Resources➡️ Bucklin B et al.

In this 188th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. In this episode we discuss medicine, scientific publishing, and just how bad things have gotten. The New England Journal of Medicine declined to publish a letter that would have provided valuable scientific context for a paper they recently published, and we discuss Bret's reserve capacity hypothesis regarding the evolution of senescence and the relationship of telomere length to both aging and cancer. Then we discuss uterine transplants. What can be done for women who are born without uteruses who want to bear children of their own? What about for men who present themselves to the world as women? How about women who have transitioned “into” men but have decided that they would like to bear children after all? And who can get Continuing Medical Education credits from the American Medical Association for pretending that up is down, male is female, and reality is a thing of the past?
