With limited patient populations and complex diagnostic pathways, rare disease manufacturers face unique challenges in optimizing their field medical teams to deliver tailored support to diverse local teams across global markets. Thus, the efficiency and ingenuity of MSL teams becomes paramount in overcoming these challenges and ensuring optimal support for healthcare providers and key opinion leaders.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to provide a roadmap for excellence in rare disease field medical operations on a global scale. This report will empower rare disease field medical excellence leaders to craft robust frameworks that drive consistency and high impact across key global regions — North America, Europe, APAC, LATAM, and MENA. This study offers strategic insights to improve KOL interactions, evaluate MSL performance, and align staffing footprints to meet the unique demands of the rare disease landscape.

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC collated performance data and insights from Field Medical executives from rare disease companies around the world through a custom benchmark survey. Focused on rare disease field medical operations, the research drew insights from a diverse range of respondents and was meticulously segmented at regional levels.

Best Practices, LLC also leveraged its propriety Field Medical Excellence database to provide additional benchmarks for maximal alignment with varied portfolio considerations.

The final study draws on 448 survey responses, representing a benchmark class of over 100 biopharma manufacturers.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Effective Rare Disease Field Performance Metrics
  • Developing a Rare Disease Field Medical Excellence Framework
  • Target and Engagement Levels of Key Opinion Leaders within the Rare Disease Segment
  • MSL Time Allocation for KOL Interactions and Internal Activities
  • Rare Disease Field Medical Staffing Footprint
  • Key Insights and Lessons Learned for Evaluating the Impact of MSLs in Rare Diseases

Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

  • Value Assigned to F2F Interactions in Europe: A majority of competitors (67%) reward F2F interactions in rare diseases, but not in other therapeutic areas.
