'MEDICAL REPRESENTATIVE' AS A CAREER OPTION

‘Medical Representative’ as a career option

It sounds like a great career in this field as a Medical Representative or MR or Medical Rep. And it is, if everything goes perfectly. But it doesn’t happen all the time. There are numerous things a Medical Representative or MR or Medical Rep has to tackle during his journey in this field. No one enters in this field by choice. In most of the cases, if a person fails to seek job of his choice, he has to choose this field. This field gives him a decent package, freedom in working, opportunity to meet different kinds of people of this market, to roam around and visit new places. Well, freedom in working means, there is no any time frame for this job. Medical Representative or MR or Medical Rep job is to meet doctors and tackle all issues regarding sales. I mean it is not an Eight hours job, like back office job. The opportunity to grow is also high like first line (Area Manager), second line (Regional Manager) and so on. The package grows likewise. It depends on a person and his ability.

If we talk about the eligibility criteria, a Pharmacy or Science graduate preferred first. But in most of the companies, they are ready to take any graduates. Ultimately, the job is to sell brands. If you have good communication skills or marketing skills and you are able to sell pharma products then the company will be ready to appoint you. And if you have that one thing, you can achieve the highest level of post in the company. The scope in this field is very high, because this is the field in which there will never be recession. As population increases and as our life style changes in this busy world, the need of medicines increases. But as this pharma market changes day by day, we cannot predict the future of a Medical Representative or MR or Medical Rep. Because, online medicines market is growing very rapidly. As well as Government is also taking some interest in this field by promoting Generic medicines more and more. Another thing is, Uncle Sam is putting some price control over necessary medicines gradually, which is good for a common man. He can get necessary medicines at a very affordable price.

According to me, there is nothing wrong to choose this field as career option. If you survive in this field, you will grow and earn a good money. Else you learn many things which were totally unknown to you. You will be a completely different man after getting experience of 5-7 years as Medical Representative or MR or Medical Rep.
