Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you have real instructional design, curriculum development, medical education, or training experience and can show a portfolio of learning solutions. Pure clinicians without L&D experience are unlikely to be competitive for this senior client-facing role.
Who should apply
Clinicians with prior teaching, curriculum design, CME, simulation, medical education, or life-sciences training experience—especially doctors, nurses, pharmacists, or allied health professionals who have designed workshops or training for HCPs, MSLs, or commercial teams.
CV angle
Reframe clinical teaching, trainee supervision, CME, simulation, curriculum building, assessment design, and workshop facilitation as instructional design and L&D experience. Emphasize translating complex clinical/oncology content for HCPs, MSLs, or sales learners, managing stakeholders, and measuring learning outcomes; do not claim instructional design experience you do not have.
Skills to highlight
- Instructional design
- Curriculum development
- Adult learning principles
- Instructor-led and virtual workshop design
- Needs analysis and learning measurement
- Facilitation and train-the-trainer
- Stakeholder and client management
- Life sciences/oncology training
Role summary
A senior instructional designer role in a life-sciences L&D agency, creating instructor-led and virtual workshops, facilitator guides, case studies, simulations, and assessments for pharma/biotech clients and learners such as sales reps, HCPs, and MSLs.
