Why were you interested in pursuing medical sales as a career?

Was laid off twice in 1 year from pharmaceuticals and decided that was that and decided that Medical Devices was where I wanted and needed to be.
Please describe your training experience at Medical Sales College.
MSC was an eye opening very difficult training program. When people ask me to describe the course I like to say that it was as hard as my graduate level programs I took getting my masters degree but in a much shorter time frame. However, Rick Prentiss was an amazing teacher and trainer. Without him I would not know what I do now. He also was a great influence on the choices we made and are making in the industry. He did an incredible job.
