Tell me a little about your background.

Previous operating room experience as an anesthesia technician

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

I love surgery and wanted to choose a career path in surgery that had a higher earning potential than an anesthesia tech.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

Word of mouth

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

Higher earning potential than anesthesia tech, less schooling than nursing, and still get to be in surgery.

Please describe your training experience at Medical Sales College.

The amount of knowledge I gained in just 12 weeks was invaluable. Even with previous OR experience, I was not prepared to enter the medical device industry. After 12 weeks at MSC I have secured a job, began training, and it amazes me how quickly the knowledge I gained floods to the surface when I need it.

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

MSC provides a service unlike any other. MSC goes above and beyond in not only educating students but preparing them for the medical field.

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

I didn't try prior to attending MSC

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

Approximately 1.5 hour phone call with distributor, phone call was pretty laid back we both had questions and at the end it seemed like the perfect fit.

What is your current job like?

Fast paced, exciting, and rewarding!

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 surgical techniques and product information.
