Student Testimonials
Tell me a little about your background.
Prior to attending MSC, I attended James Madison University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Health Services Administration. Following graduation, I worked as the Executive Intern at the Operation Smile headquarters ? an international, medical not for profit organization that provides cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries to children around the globe. Through Operation Smile?s partnerships with Johnson & Johnson and Stryker, I was able to gain exposure to the great impact that medical devices have on the world. It was through this experience that I became motivated to further my education and career in the medical device industry. Shortly after the completion of my internship, I went on to attend the Orthopedic Reconstruction and Trauma program at the Medical Sales College.

What do you know now that you wish you had known before entering the industry/attending Medical Sales College?
I wish I would have known how to properly approach the job process. After completing the ORT program, I had a completely different perception of the job process as a whole. I now know the importance of the following: reaching out in regards to an application, persistence throughout the whole process, and follow-up after each step.
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 piece of information that I received at MSC was the importance of persistence. My persistence was recognized and well received by every hiring manager that I had come into contact with. Without my extensive amount of follow-up, I would have never landed my dream position.
