 Thought Leaders – also known as Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) – play an important role in defining the medical practices of healthcare professionals. From conducting clinical trials to participating in treatment guidelines, Thought Leaders have considerable influence in the medical communities they serve. While there are many potentially influential experts, each individual has a unique set of skills and experiences that make them ideal for roles such as lead investigator in a pivotal clinical trial, advisory board member or speaker at a global conference.
Thought Leader Select objectively assesses global, national and regional medical experts from a wide range of therapeutic areas. Using a unique and objective methodology, we profile Thought Leaders across more than a dozen categories – including their involvement in clinical trials, area of expertise, speaking roles, level of influence over patient care decisions, and other relevant factors.
