  What you will do

  At Amgen, we've established a bold ambition to reduce CV events by half by 2023. We have 4 milestone goals by 2025 focused on LDL-C testing, LDL-C target levels, quality measures and access. Amgen can't achieve these on our own and need multi-stakeholders with aligned objectives taking bold action to get help.

  At Amgen Medical, implementation of evidence is a key focus to closing the gap in what is known in evidence based literature and what is done in clinical practice. By identifying and addressing barriers to uptake of evidence and guideline recommendations into care, we hope to help speed the progress toward improving population health.

  Amgen is committed to working with key stakeholders in implementation science to achieve the goal of reducing cardiovascular disease globally. We convened a new LDL Awareness to Action Implementation Consortium (LATAIC; pronounced LATTICE) focused on how to improve LDL-C testing and evidence-based approach to patient CV care management. LATAIC focuses on finding opportunities to accelerate the impact of the translation of evidence-based research into clinical practice. We hope to enable scalable action to address unmet LDL needs, drive efficiency, and improve quality of care for patients by expanding LATAIC to include other CVD industry stakeholders. The consortium is comprised of leading CV institutions, including Duke’s Cardio Health Alliance, Harvard's BAIM Institute, Johns Hopkins, Geisinger, University of Colorado, St. Luke's CardioMetabolic Center Alliance, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Providence, Yale and UT Southwestern.

  This Medical Director – Implementation Science role has been created to take these initiatives to the next level by facilitating sharing, learning, ideation and collaboration, in an effort to scale with speed. This Medical Director- Implementation Science will lead implementation science initiatives in the US, initially in cardiovascular and metabolism. However, we envisage the role to evolve to cover other population health indications such as bone health where similar implementation science approaches would scale to. In addition, we expect the incumbent to inspire colleagues beyond the US and to scale implementation science efforts globally
