What students say.

"

Three interviews at mid-size device companies within two weeks of finishing the course. The 30-60-90 plan alone was worth it.

Jordan M. — New grad, Associate Rep
"

I was an OR nurse for 6 years and couldn't figure out how to position myself. This course taught me how to talk about what I knew like a salesperson.

Sarah T. — RN to Clinical Sales Specialist
"

Course 3 changed how I think about my territory. Stopped defending my base and started hunting. Hit 118% last quarter for the first time.

Marcus D. — Territory Rep, Year 2

The difference between reps who thrive and reps who wash out is almost always what happens in this window.

Founder, The MedTech Edge · Stryker National Rookie of the Year

My story

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering with a Biomechanics specialization from the University of Missouri — which means I didn't just study sales theory. I studied the mechanics of the human body, the engineering behind implants, and the clinical science that underlies every procedure I now support in the OR.

Before I ever carried a bag, I spent two years as an Orthopedic Research Assistant at the Missouri Orthopedic Institute — coordinating clinical studies, working directly alongside surgeons, and learning how the hospital environment actually operates from the inside. That foundation is what most reps spend their first year trying to build. I walked in with it.

As a Clinical Specialist at Stryker, I provide intraoperative support for orthopedic procedures, perform preoperative CT-based surgical planning using Mako robotic software, and coordinate directly with surgeons, OR staff, and sterile processing on every case. I've supported procedures generating approximately $650K in implant revenue — and in my first year, I was recognized with the MPS Rookie of the Year award at Stryker's National Sales Meeting.

That award isn't something I lead with to impress people. I lead with it because it's proof that the system I used actually works — and it's the same system I built The MedTech Edge to teach. Everything here is grounded in real OR experience, real clinical knowledge, and the specific dynamics of the med tech sales world. No recycled sales theory. No generic career advice. Just what works in the field.

Why I built this

I had an engineering degree, two years of OR research experience, and a genuine passion for orthopedic surgery — and I still found breaking into med tech sales harder than it should have been. The information existed, but it was scattered, generic, or locked inside the heads of people too busy to share it. The MedTech Edge is the resource I wish I'd had: specific, credible, and built entirely on what actually happens in the field.
