I am a licensed/barred attorney who decided that the practice of law wasn't for me. I spent about 2 years at a tech startup wearing many hats that included a stint with a sales team. I loved sales but wanted to be more passionate about my industry. I have always been interested in healthcare and medicine so I decided to do some research surrounding the medical device sales industry where I came across MSC. After looking into the programs MSC offered and applying, I decided it was a great fit for me to gain some industry knowledge and jumpstart a new career path.

I believe that everyone can have a career that they love, are personally invested in, and that can contribute to society. Medical sales provides all those things for me. I find healthcare and medicine fascinating and I feel that the work I will be doing will impact the greater good.

I did a lot of personal research surrounding entrance into the Medical Device Sales world and stumbled upon MSC's website.

I decided that investing in myself for 3 months in exchange for entrance into a lifelong career was a risk worth taking.

I loved my time at MSC. The instructors were knowledgable, fun to work with, and committed to helping the students succeed not only in the program but in the industry. The training on spine/orthopedic/biologic implants and treatments was invaluable and I feel confident that I have a solid base of knowledge to succeed in my new role.

I didn't try prior to attending MSC.

I am super new and have just started diving in so I am not entirely sure what my day-to-day will look like given that I am working at a startup.

I had no idea how large/vast the industry was before attending MSC.

While interviewing for my current position, it was important that I had spine/orthopedic implant knowledge and could speak intelligently about products and related pathologies. Therefore, I would say that the product profiling/presentations specifically was the most valuable.
