Yes. The 8-Week Online Orthobiologics Program consists of 7 weeks of online study and 4 days on campus at the Denver, CO location.

The 12-Week Hybrid Programs consist of 3 weeks at home study and 9 weeks on campus. The 440-hour Program provides 60 Distance Learning Hours and 380 Contact Hours and includes comprehensive training of two Program Specialties.

You will receive a curriculum that you will work on independently and at your own pace throughout the week. For the 8-Week Online Orthobiologics Program, you will be required twice a week to “conference in” for the webinar calls with your instructor and classmates. Additionally, there will be homework activities for you to complete and turn in weekly, consisting of vocabulary, anatomy, research activities, essays, and surgeon profiling.

Yes. We developed our 8-Week Orthobiologics Hybrid program specifically for those who are unable to leave a job. We estimate that you will spend approximately 20-hours a week completing your studies’ “at-home” portion. However, this is considered a self-paced program to allow flexibility with completing this work. While challenging, it is manageable to continue working full-time during the 7 weeks at home study.

Several contributing factors can help determine the course you elect to participate in:

• Which specialization is of most interest to you?
• What is your background/experience?
• Where do you hope to work after graduating from MSC? (What geographical location?)
• What kinds of opportunities have historically been available to graduates in your territory of preference?
• What other graduate candidates are available in your territory of preference, and how were they trained?
• When do you want to begin your program?

 We encourage you to speak with a student advisor at Medical Sales College to get more information about the programs that are enrolling and the specific areas where opportunities are currently available to graduates of MSC.

On average, there are 15-20 students in each program. We strive to keep the instructor to student ratio low so students receive more individual attention and feedback. We also believe this class size allows for favorable interaction between students and a healthy competitive spirit.

The type of class you elect to enroll in determines the cost of tuition. Please see our Tuition and Financing page for more details.

A $500 deposit is needed to secure a spot in most courses. Full tuition payment is due a minimum of 30 days before the start of class.

We accept cash, check, or credit card payments made with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.

Medical Sales College is a Non-Title IV school, therefore unable to process U.S. federal student aid. However, students can take advantage of financing offered through Mertize Financial or apply Veteran Benefits towards a program.

You can complete an online application here. The application is relatively brief with the intent that our interview process is where acceptance is determined.

Medical Sales College is NOT an open enrollment program. All interested parties are encouraged to apply for acceptance. Once we receive your application, the process moves quickly to fill limited available course openings.

1. Once your application is submitted, our team will contact you within 24-48 hours to conduct a 30-45 minute interview
2. You will be scheduled with the career development team that will spend time explaining our placement process (post-graduation) and evaluate your enrollment application.
3. Your final call will conclude with the Director of Admissions that will discuss your acceptance and answer any specific questions you might have for enrollment.

Several factors can affect candidate acceptance.

1. The background of the candidate – Each candidate is evaluated based on his or her specific experience. We do not require previous medical sales experience, broad sales experience or clinical experience, but any of those might be a factor in your acceptance.
2. The candidate’s employment location – Each candidate is considered based on a desired or preferred location for work. Due to the high number of applicants, we can select candidates where they are the only available candidate in a specific area for our employers. Therefore, the selected candidate has little to no competition from other Medical Sales College graduates.
3. The ability to interview – Like all interviews, we are looking for the right candidate. A significant benefit to our registered employers is the pre-screening of locating the best available medical sales candidates across the nation.

No. We do not require a Bachelor’s Degree as a prerequisite for acceptance to Medical Sales College. If you do not have a Bachelor’s Degree, your sales or clinical background and experience should be exceptionally strong.

No. Students receive a “Certificate of Completion” upon graduating. We want to note that this document proves that a student has successfully completed a Medical Sales College program. There is no required “certification” to become a medical sales representative. Our programs, and graduates of our programs, are recognized by medical device hiring managers because of the skills they have developed and the level of preparation they receive while at MSC.

That is a difficult question to answer. Hiring managers have very different selection preferences. One manager may want someone just out of school who they can “mold” into a great sales rep, while others prefer to hire sales reps that have a significant amount of prior sales experience and a demonstrated “track record” of success. Hiring managers know that building a relationship with your surgeon customer is critical in many instances. With the average age of a surgeon between 50-60, this is why medical sales can be an excellent second career for many.

Ultimately, hiring managers are looking for professional, assertive sales reps who are not afraid to ask for the business and are well received by surgeon customers.

Each specialization is usually offered several times each year. To view the current course schedule click here.
