Student Testimonials
Tell me a little about your background.
I recently graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Sociology. During my time at Vanderbilt, I was a varsity baseball player and participated in several outside organizations. I completed a sales internship during my senior year with a local company in Nashville which led to my interest in sales. With my family having experience in hospitals, I wanted to combine both sales and medicine while also living comfortably in the future.
Why were you interested in pursuing medical sales as a career?
I shadowed a former teammate of mine at Vanderbilt who works as a spine representative at Stryker. I loved the environment of being in the OR and communicating with surgeons and their team members. This led into me applying to MSC so I could gain a proper foundation of the industry and a "leg-up" on entry level representatives.

Please briefly explain your job interview process with your hiring company.
What do you know now that you wish you had known before entering the industry/attending Medical Sales College?
Everything! I was clueless prior to MSC. In interviews after graduating from MSC, hiring managers looked at me like I had experience in the industry. I was able to speak to hiring managers at a high enough level to grab their attention and close them.
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 learned attending MSC was about the interviewing process and how to crush an interview.
