Tell me a little about your background.

I graduated in May of 2019 from the University of Arizona, double majoring in Communication and Information sciences.

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

I?ve always had an interest in medicine and business. I also grew up in a family that was heavily involved in the healthcare industry .

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

Former students.

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

After going through the MSC interview process, I realized that my best chance of being able to get a job in medical device sales right out of college was by attending MSC.

Please describe your training experience at Medical Sales College.

My training at MSC was rigorous yet very very informative. I was really nervous about the course work before classes started because I was a communication major in college and had zero previous knowledge on the human body and anatomy. This proved not to be a problem at all and only motivated me to put double the work in.

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

MSC is hands down the best way to get into the medical device industry. Especially if you are just out of college like I was, there is not a better way to go about it. Not only that, but you?ll learn way more than you even thought you could.

Please briefly explain your job interview process with your hiring company.

My interview process was very different for every company I interviewed with. It always started out with a screening phone call and then an in person interview. From there it differs from company to company. Some companies made me do a product presentation, another made me meet with a surgeon at the hospital.

What do you know now that you wish you had known before entering the industry/attending Medical Sales College?

How important LinkedIn is to actually finding a job.

What was the most valuable thing you learned at Medical Sales College/What piece of training do you use the most in your day-to-day activities?

The most valuable information I think I learned at MSC was how to properly prepare for an interview. That along with gaining a strong knowledge of anatomy proved to be extremely helpful.
