Introductory notes on Medical Sales JobsBy itself the term Medical Sales isn't all that informative. Despite the fact that one can see Medical Sales jobs advertised in the media, there are several different kinds of job that all come under that same title. The list that follows covers the main sub-divisions. Primary Care rep's Also sometimes referred to as GP rep's these are Medical Sales jobs that are concerned with promoting products within the primary care sector (GP practices). In an industry that is, in general, very well paid and difficult to enter, this kind of job is perhaps the easiest access route. Research it well beforehand if you are looking to enter the Medical Sales industry via this route. If you could persuade an existing GP rep' to allow you to "shadow" her/him for a day this would give you an ideal introduction. But how does one find a suitably co-operative GP rep? No problem ... visit a local GP surgery and see if you can talk them into giving you some business cards for local reps. After all, visiting surgeries in this way is what you would be doing all the time in Medical Sales jobs. By the way, rep's need to pass the ABPI exam within your first two years in a Medical Sales job. You could think of this as being equivalent to GCE "A" level Biology. GP/Hospital rep's These are Medical Sales jobs that involve promoting products in both the primary care (GP practices) and the secondary care (hospitals) sectors. Candidates would be expected to have researched the industry and to understand the need for the ABPI exam. In particular they would need to understand the hierarchy of professionals in both the Primary and Secondary care groups. In this kind of Medical Sales job it would be no good at all for the rep not to understand the difference between a "house officer" and "a consultant". Hospital rep's Sometimes called 'Hospital Specialists'. These would not usually be regarded as "entry points" for the Medical Sales jobs industry. Applicants would normally be expected to have already worked in the industry, preferably including experience as GP/Hospital rep's. Wound-care sales rep's Primarily
