I graduated with a degree in kinesiology and am a former college athlete. I have always had a love for medicine and the human anatomy from a very young age. My original plan was to go to medical school but I decided to deter from that plan. The next best thing is medical device sales.

I am interested in medical device sales for a number of reasons. I have great interest in the human body and how it all works. I also wanted to be in the operating room for my ?job,? every day. I also know that with my unique personality that I would be a great sales person, especially in something that I am passionate about.

From a friend who previously completed this course.

The fact that I knew for certain that medical sales was what I wanted to do.

My training as MSC was very in-depth but stimulating at the same time. We were given a very large amount of information, but given hands-on experience to learn the information in a way that translates directly into the working environment. Overall it was a great experience that I would definitely recommend.

If you are serious about this industry and that it is what you want to do, then enroll in MSC. I believe it really is the only way to break into the industry in 2019 unless you have an unbelievable connection. Companies want some sort of experience, but no one wants to be your first experience in the medical industry. MSC is your foot in the door; it is you first experience. Make the most of your time there and make an investment for the rest of your life.

One year.

My interview for Arthrex was not exactly a traditional interview process. I had an interview on the phone for about an hour. After that I scheduled a ride-along and drove down to Austin. I met with my boss, Ryan at 6AM, about an hour before the first case. We went over the product line and tested a bit of my knowledge over the products. During my ride-along, some of the reps would ask me if I could identify tissue structures on the scope. After my ride-along, I went back to the office with Ryan and had another brief interview, about 30 minutes. He asked me a few questions, like ?Why do you want to work for Arthrex?? and ?Assuming that you get this job, where do you see yourself in three years, five years and ten years??

The industry of medical sales is so much better than I thought it would be.

Be yourself during the interview process. Do not become robotic but know the products of the company for which you are interviewing.
