2026 marks the 50th anniversary of CAPA. As part of this milestone celebration, CAPA is proud to present the Beyond the Clinic webinar series, a multi-part program highlighting career paths for Physician Associates outside of traditional clinical settings.

The first webinar in the series, Beyond the Clinic: Medical Liaison Roles for PAs, explores the role of the Medical Science Liaison and how PAs can transition into this field. Join Michelle Lim, an experienced PA with deep knowledge of the Medical Science Liaison landscape, as she provides an in-depth overview of this career path.

This session will cover the core responsibilities of a Medical Science Liaison, including scientific education, relationship-building with healthcare professionals, and collaboration with cross-functional industry teams.
