Breaking into med device sales is harder than the job itself, but it’s all about making progress 📈

Everyone keeps saying how hard sales is, but they don’t know ATs

LinkedIn is Indeed on steroids when it comes to job opportunities and professional networking. So powerful and puts the ball in your hands

5. It’s difficult to measure or provide data related to how successful an AT is as much of our value is subjective and unquantifiable. The projects and deliverables you accomplish can help communicate this.

4. Learning about new advancements is FUN! Just like learning a new rehab technique, seeing a new product or concept reignites our passion for medicine and helping others. That energy is contagious and motivates you through any uncertainty or fear you may have.

Starting a career in the medical device sales industry has many similarities to AT! Here’s what I’ve learned thus far:

These positions have to stop. University of Tennessee (@Vol_Sports) has 3 “internship opportunities” for licensed, credentialed ATs. The stipend for this 12-month, 40+ hr/week position is… $27000. Plus, a parking pass.

Was going through old job prep notes, seeing what’s changed & what values are still important today. I came across this from probably 10y ago. If this is the end of my career as a full-time AT, accomplishing 75% of my goals when I initially set out is more than good enough for me

Personally, I’ve chosen to focus on med device sales b/c of my clinical experience & relationship building skills. It’s a field that offers ample employment opportunities, hybrid workplace, & influence over as much/little growth as you want. That said, never r/o any opportunity.

Another transition involves leaving the clinical side & becoming a rep w/ corporations or other companies where our experience & network are valued. Or obviously there are those who start their own business independently. These jobs can lack insurance/benefits & job security.

The natural transition for ATs is to change settings & take a clinic position w/ reasonable expectations. There’s a functioning HR dept + actually being compensated for OT; but that’s not much an impact on career trajectory, other than finding a tolerable environment long term.

1. No career growth 2. Limited agency 3. Toxic work environments At the end of the day, it’s a job that expects all your time and energy, yet compensates just enough to pay the bills; then hope the free swag and pizza parties make employees forget about inequities that exist.

Undoubtedly, there’s been improvements in demands and overall job satisfaction since returning to work after the pandemic. But there are specific factors that I don’t see changing, which lead me to believe the best decision for me and my family is to leave AT:

In 2024 I was honestly MIA, too busy personally and professionally to consistently engage with #ATTwitter. That’s going to change in 2025, as I plan on sharing my experience and I try to transition out of AT…🧵
