As someone who was in medical device, the med device sales schools and certifications seem like a waste of time and money. Find someone you know who is a hiring manager or be willing to grind out the interviews for an entry level role.

If I were you, I would try to get to device first as you can always move to pharma later. Device won’t take ex pharma people unless you know someone. It’s dumb how clicky it all is but that’s what I’ve observed.

i am in the pharma sales world. it is super hard to get into. everyone wants someone with experience selling pharma or selling TO pharma.

this seems like you just pay money they send you a book you read it take tests and your done. no real application or anything.

i know for me i would 100% fail at this hahah.

it seems like if you passed you could tell an employer you KNOW things. but still have no experience.
