I graduated with a bachelor?s degree May of 2018 in Health Management. I always knew I wanted to be in sales, so I started applying for medical device sales positions. Unfortunately, these companies ask for more sales experience than I had so I did some research and came across MSC and knew that is what I needed to get my foot in the door.

The medical field has always been something I am passionate about and sales is something I am naturally comfortable with. My personality fits all the qualities of a sales representative. So I knew that medical device sales was a great fit for my career path.

A friend that I had attended courses with in college informed me of the school and I did extensive research on my own of the school and in the end decided it was a great opportunity for me!

The staff is awesome, and all of the reviews of the school were positive and great. I even got to explore the area before I attended the program and knew in my gut is something I needed to do.

We started out with the Ortho instructor, DC, who was great. He makes you feel very comfortable and starts every class with an inspirational video every morning. I also had Thiana for biologics and she was absolutely awesome and gave amazing advice. Then Jim Rogers visited us and he talked to us about sales and the industry. Then the last 4 weeks we had Rebecca Camp, who taught me everything I needed to know about spine. She cares about us as students and prepares us very well for the industry. She helped me find my passion for spine. All together, these instructors really helped me and gave me a great foundation of knowledge for the industry.

Because it puts you in the right position to get hired. It gave me the knowledge I needed for the industry to land a job. I also feel that the prepare you clinically too.

Only about 3 months since I had just graduated college.

I was interviewing with 2 great companies in my region, but since it was around the holidays the process was extremely slow. I got a call 2 days before Christmas from Paige and she said a distributor from Florida really wanted to speak to me and I agreed to speak to him. Long story short, we hit it off and had a great over the phone interview. He liked me so much that he brought me as his rep 2 weekends later to a spine training convention with RTI surgical and 2 days after that I drove 5 hours to shadow a case with him and explore the territory. I knew in my gut that this was a great opportunity, so I had to take it. I am extremely blessed to have such a great mentor as a boss and I can?t wait to be trained and molded into the best medical device sales representative!

I start in 2 weeks since I have to make such a big move. But he already gave me a good layout of what I will be doing the first 3-6 months. I will be training and shadowing cases with him. He wants me to start covering cases by myself ASAP and after 3 months I will start making calls on my own.

MSC taught me everything I really needed to know. I guess I wish I knew more about the different divisions you can work in (spine, ortho, trauma, sports medicine) before attending MSC. But that?s why I chose to do the combo program to see which one I liked better.

They prepared us very well for the interviewing process. I was comfortable in all of my interviews because of all of the great advice they gave us.
