Some Medical Science Liaison roles require regional travel and this can often be extensive travel. If asked this question during your interview, travel will be required and your interviewer needs to be assured that you are able to handle this basic requirement of the role.

Even prior to applying for this position as an MSL, the travel requirements should have been laid out in the job description. Come prepared to show your interviewer that you are aware of the travel requirements, that they fit with your personal life, and that you are excited for the opportunity to travel to meet face to face with key medical experts in the field.

"Yes, I am readily available to travel for this role when required to meet with physicians throughout the region and even the country. Having notice of my schedule, and hopefully even the ability to coordinate my travel would be key to finding any necessary childcare when needed between my spouse and me. I love the fact that this MSL opportunity would allow me to meet with physicians face to face in the clinical setting and would look forward to doing that here."
