I am writing this testimonial to express my immense gratitude for my incredible opportunity and experience as a TZ Medical Sales Intern. This internship has been unique, providing me with invaluable insights into the dynamic world of healthcare and medical sales. From the beginning of the internship, I was exposed to a hands-on learning environment that expanded my clinical and real-world application knowledge. The mentorship I received from working with multiple Outside Sales Reps was exceptional and helped make the experience more accessible. One of the most rewarding aspects of this internship was the exposure to a diverse range of medical products and solutions. We had the opportunity to visit and shadow an office-based lab to see a live procedure and some of the medical tools that we sell in action. This experience expanded my knowledge and gave me the confidence to engage in meaningful conversations with healthcare professionals.
Additionally, the collaborative and supportive team culture at TZ fostered an environment where I felt encouraged to ask questions, seek help, and contribute my ideas. I even met some lifelong friends along the way! I can't recommend the TZ sales Internship enough for someone looking to jumpstart their career in medical sales.

The entire internship experience was more than I could have asked for. Coming into the internship with a life sciences background, I was excited to grow my clinical knowledge and enter into the world of sales. Being surrounded by peers from different backgrounds made the experience what it was, as we all grew individually but towards the same goal. The support that you receive from this internship is truly what makes the difference. Not only do you have the support from your internship class, but you have the support from the entire company. TZ Medical is a close-knit company that genuinely cares about you and builds you up to be a successful, well-rounded associate in the field. Watching live procedures in the lab, gaining experience talking to healthcare professionals, learning the ins and outs of each product, and even going on weekend trips with my internship class were all highlights of the internship that I will forever cherish.

My internship at TZ Medical was an incredibly rewarding experience, both professionally and personally. I gained practical knowledge in medical device sales, improving my communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills. What really set this internship apart, though, was the sense of community. The clinical specialists and support staff were always approachable and willing to share their expertise and, more importantly, their passions for the field, making me feel like I was truly part of the team. The other interns and I formed strong, lasting friendships — it felt like we had become a close-knit family.
