Sales Training Associate

What is a Sales Training Associate?

The Sales Training Associate (STA) Program is a 6 - 12 month program designed to introduce new college graduates to the medical device industry and to establish a foundation necessary for a career in the competitive and rewarding medical device industry. Hired participants will have the opportunity to be part of the Sale Training Excellence Program and to learn from the Global Training and Education team, Sales Managers and Field Clinical Specialists in the field. Upon successfully completing the STA Program, the STA will be eligible to move into a clinical specialist within one of our three franchises.
