they have 27 positions/locations advertised. contract / per diem based? Looks like they are well spread across the States. Certainly additive to the full time sales reps. Will we see a plan that reveals our position of strength? |

Will we see a plan that reveals our position of strength? no. its just a plan to augment the sales force on a limited budget. If you think having a sales force to sell a product is position of strength.. so be it. |

Taken from the description:
The contract Clinical Educator work is field based, in an assigned territory. Contract Clinical Educators are responsible for delivering product and general disease state education using information provided by the manufacturer during patient and health care professional education sessions. Contracted Educators participate in scheduling the sessions they would like to facilitate based on their individual availability and preference.
A few specifics:
• Responsible for training on pre-approved curriculum to a variety of audiences including, but not limited to patients, office staff, caregivers, and pharmacists
• Conduct total office call and/or in-service sessions to educate physicians, nurses and office staff on patient services and how to access. Topics could include: burden of disease and symptoms, potential therapies, administration/dosing/side effects, approval and acquisition process and follow up on patient progression.
• Conduct individual and small group patient sessions to help the patient better understand their disease state, specifically in relation to the prescribed therapy, as patients start-and more importantly, stay-on their prescribed therapeutic regimen.
• Assist patients/caregivers in understanding and implementing treatment protocols of the prescribing physician; Provide training on proper use of medication including use of inhalation device. Educate office staff on proper use, handling, and administration of medication to instill confidence to train their patients

There should be a lot of these people available to hire. As insulin prices paid by the PBMs has dropped going into 2017, mostly as a result of Lilly introducing a generic version of Sanofi's Lantus, all the companies have been cutting back on certified diabetic educators. Sanofi cut 100% of theirs (who were all Quintiles contractors) at the end of December, others by smaller percentages.

Seems kind of ironic that resources are being let go by a company with billion dollar diabetes revenue to be picked up by a company with a hundred fold smaller revenue. Though I suppose as SNY it would be hard to swallow having education resources out there at a time when the patients will be pressured by insurance to ditch Lantus and switch to the biosimilar. I'm sure these clinical educators will be valuable to MNKD's effort... but seems late to be hiring, and hard to see how a lot of benefit is generated before MNKD runs out of money. |

Maybe Matt doesn't plan on running out of money. Yes, I'm sure his plan A isn't to run out of money. I suspect that is never any company's plan. It certainly wasn't mine when I had a company that got slammed by the 2000 tech meltdown. Unfortunately, we know that MANY things regarding MNKD have not gone according to plan. We know by Matt's own statements that he thought the market cap would be over double ($1 pre split per share) vs where we actually are. When you have a $10M/month burn rate there is a big difference with respect to capital raise viability as to whether the company has a market cap of $187 million vs $480 million. Desperately hoping that Matt's plan(s) work. My plan for retirement is somewhat tied to his plan. |

I think we have bashed this to death! Let's see what unfolds in the next week or so. One more update: one clinical educator position out of 27 to be filled. Fulltime sales force in place. Insurance issues being resolved (along with label reclassification). VA agreement in place. Web promotional search links initiated. Regional news stories reporting. Reverse split to minimize share float complete and Nasdaq compliance imminent. Settlement with SNY, and reduction of overhead costs. Sponsorship of reality program announced. Next major catalyst DTC campaign and ultimately script growth. International expansion in 5 markets. What else? |
