The orthopaedic extremities market is one of the fastest growing in orthopaedics as procedures and implants gain more acceptance. Course speciality material on orthopaedic reconstruction and trauma breaks out into knee week, hip week, and trauma week. Students learn from the Medical Sales College proprietary selling methodically, an industry-first curriculum built specifically for the orthopaedic device community.
As a requirement, all medical sales representatives must complete industry credentialing prior to entering the operating room.
Professional Representative Certification (PRC)
As a requirement, all medical sales representatives must complete industry credentialing prior to entering an operating room. Knowing hospital protocol and operating room etiquette is a must. Most company sponsored training programs spend less than a day covering this subject matter. At the Medical Sales College, we offer the best-trained professional representatives for the benefit of the employer, hospital and patient safety. In addition, as a selling representative, you work with several departments at the hospital. In our PRC certification, a student of the Medical Sales College takes it a step further. A typical representative learns by trial and error. At the Medical Sales College we want to give you every advantage to succeed. We take no chances. Outside of hospital protocol and operating room etiquette, we also cover industry regulations.

Medical Sales is unlike any other type of sales or territory management. As such, our training process is unique.
In 2023, the Medical Sales College upgraded its Territory Business Planning training to include a student effort-centric, sales-forward, territory planning process.
This process begins in week 1 and continues through to graduation week. Our territory business planning process does the following:

Students develop a comprehensive understanding of the Orthopaedic Reconstruction & Trauma (ORT) concepts and treatment options. ORT is a three week program that breaks out into knee week, hip week, and trauma week.
Knee and hip week curriculum will focus on students gaining an understanding of anatomy, pathology, biomechanics, device design, and history as it relates to total knee and total hip arthroplasty. Students will also get an understanding of UNI knee’s, Bi-Polar hips vs total vs revision vs oncology.
During trauma week, we focus on fracture classifications. We discuss primary and secondary healing of bones. We set up fracture conference workshops looking at X-Rays, identifying the fracture, and learning how to discuss solutions. Students will build their confidence so that they are a confident asset to the surgeon’s team.

With the introduction of new technologies like stem cells, growth factors, amniotic tissue membranes, and extensive portfolios of allograft and autograft tissue types, there is a lot to learn in the field of regenerative medicine and biologics.
Like PRC, most company sponsored training programs spend less than one day on biologics (some as little as a couple of hours). At the Medical Sales College, we understand that an expert in biologics is high in demand. We spend the time necessary to get you more than just acquainted with biologics. The following is a list of Orthobiologic and Regenerative Medicine topics learned throughout the week.
During these weeks, students will gain knowledge of the most common Hand, Wrist, Elbow, and Ankle anatomy and pathologies. This knowledge is critical so that graduates will be able to communicate intelligently with hiring managers to secure a position within the industry. Graduates will form a strong, solid foundation, which will enable them to integrate and contribute at a faster pace once out in the field.

There's a certain level of finesse, there's a certain level of professional knowledge necessary. You have to look at an x-ray and help the doctor figure out treatment. You have to help a surgeon, as you're standing in the OR, figure out how to use your product while they're using it on a patient."
