I graduated from college with the intent of going to medical school. I worked for 1 year as a medical scribe and went through the medical school application process. I was eventually accepted into my top choice for school, but I came to the conclusion that I would be happier in a different area of the medical field.

I was interested in medical sales because I was searching for a career in healthcare different than that of a physician and came across medical sales. I wanted a healthy work-life balance, the opportunity for career progression, and solid pay, which this career path seemed to provide.

I learned about MSC through a pharmaceutical sales rep who suggested that I look into medical device sales while I was working as a medical scribe. MSC was one of the first results to come up.

I felt that the medical sales industry was the best career path for me, so I decided to attend MSC to make myself a more competitive candidate for a position.

The courses at MSC go through extensive bookwork to teach you about anatomy, biomechanics, pathologies, treatment options, medical devices, etc. This knowledge is applied periodically in a laboratory setting with various procedures/techniques and then tested nearly every week. There were also many opportunities to practice speaking in front of groups prior to the final product presentation.

I didn't try prior to attending MSC.

I wish I would have heard of this industry earlier on!

The most valuable thing I learned from MSC was the power of networking. Developing a network is huge in this industry, so learning about it was paramount.
