MSU member success stories

Sydney Gramuglia

Hired as Oncology Clinical Educator at Eversana

Nurse → Oncology Clinical Educator

Dave and his mentorship were amazing. As a nurse, I had no idea how to break into the pharmaceutical space and he guided me through all the steps. Without him, his reputation, and the connections that developed through this program - I wouldn't have landed the job.

Corey Stewart

Hired as Specialty Pharmaceutical Sales Representative at Pfizer

Nurse → Specialty Pharma Sales

Within 11 weeks, I landed a specialty pharmaceutical sales job. Dave helped identify the blind spots I didn't even know I had. I've always been more soft-spoken, and he showed me how to assert myself in interviews while staying true to who I am.

Francesco Russo

Hired as Pharmaceutical Sales Representative at Eli Lilly

Pharmacist → Pharmaceutical Sales

I've been a pharmacist for the last seven years and wanted to break into pharmaceutical sales, even without any sales experience. It only took five weeks of working with Dave to get a job offer with Eli Lilly. You'll learn a lot and fill in the gap the books miss.

Kevin Maher

Hired as Medical Device Sales Representative at Applied Medical

Nonprofit Ministry → Medical Device Sales

Coming from a background of non-profit ministry, Dave really helped me learn how to transfer my skills into good, authentic communication and interviews. The community really helped me stay focused when there were ups and downs of the process.

Kristy McCracken

Compression therapy & wound care

Because of Dave Sterrett and Medical Sales U, I was able to learn so much more about the industry and upcoming technology, and make lifelong friends within the professional community. Dave is amazing and very knowledgeable.

Nick Junes

Landed his dream job

I just landed an incredible dream job, and I wouldn't be here without Dave and his mentorship. One of my favorite parts of the program is the community and the other students. If you're on the fence, I really strongly suggest just going for it.

Vidhi Patel

Hired as Sales Representative, Breast and Skeletal Health at Hologic

Broke into medical device sales

David Fine

Hired as Medical Device Sales Associate at ConMed

Technology Sales → Medical Device Sales

Coming from a technology sales background, I had a strong interest in medical device sales but no idea where to start. Dave coached me through every step. I broke in as a device sales associate, and a few months later I am calling on surgeons directly.

Heath Herrington

Hired as Precision Oncology Sales Representative at Guardant

Orthopedic Device Sales → Precision Oncology

I had already broken in as a 14-year med rep in orthopedic surgery sales. Above the age of 40, I wondered where else I could use my transferable skills and thrive. Dave opened my eyes and helped me with blind spots I did not know I had. Today I am in precision oncology.

Just landed a really good role with CooperSurgical. Dave is amazing at what he does: he shows you the bigger picture and how to achieve it. If you're looking to break into med device or pharmaceutical sales, this is a great direction. Very thankful for the program.

Kanika Bhagan

Hired as Territory Sales Representative at Phathom Pharmaceuticals

I moved from Trinidad and Tobago to Dallas, and with Medical Sales U I landed a role at Phathom Pharmaceuticals as a Territory Sales Representative. One thing I learned is that no one is going to invest in you besides you. Make that leap and invest in yourself.

Aladdin ElMousa

Hired as Clinical Account Associate at Tempus AI

Thanks to Dave's program, I landed my role as a clinical account associate at Tempus AI. My two biggest takeaways were building confidence and finding my why. Building confidence changed the way I interviewed: I focused on the value I bring, not what I lacked.

Chris McEnaney

Hired at Thermo Fisher Scientific

I took Dave's course, Medical Sales U, and landed a job in less than a month with Thermo Fisher Scientific. The biggest thing it gave me was confidence through the full process. Having someone in your corner, and a group alongside you, is extremely beneficial.

Non-profit → Medical device sales
