Tell me a little about your background.

Former Physician and Professor

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

Change in career from Owner/Operator of Spinal Clinic to working in the OR.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

Ads seen through Linked In and Medreps.com.

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

The testimonials legitimized the school, but it was the older students' testimonials that gave me hope as an older career changing student that Medical Sales College was the path to learn and get hired.

Please describe your training experience at Medical Sales College.

Training was extremely intense, much like my previous doctoral program; but also extremely focused, well organized, and led by practicing experts in the field.

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

Unless you have a friend or relative in the industry, you must consider Medical Sales College. In addition to the right background/experience, you need to have strong knowledge of the industry and connections. MSC will provide you with both.

How long did you try to get into the industry before attending MSC? What was that experience like?

Less than 6 months.

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

The interview process was extremely challenging and mirrored almost everything I learned it was going to be from Medical Sales College. For the parts you can't prepare for, I used critical thinking skills I attained as a Physician in private practice in alliance with advice from my MSC professors

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?

Being able to understand the industry without ever having any experience nor contacts within the industry. Each of my interviews I conducted myself with confidence, providing answers illustrating the depth of knowledge about an industry I had yet to join.
