The College of Business at Southeastern Louisiana University is now offering an undergraduate certificate in sales leadership, the university recently announced.
The Medical Sales Certificate program allows students from all majors the opportunity to upskill and enhance their degree. Sales skills are relevant for a variety of roles, including, but not limited to, sales and sales leadership, said Interim Department Head of Marketing and Supply Chain Management April Kemp.
“In an increasingly competitive job market, this program offers comprehensive training in medical products, sales strategies, and effective communication techniques tailored for healthcare professionals,” Kemp said. “The Medical Sales Certificate enhances students’ resumes and connects them with industry leaders and potential job opportunities, positioning graduates for career success.”
The program curriculum was designed using an interdisciplinary approach by faculty in both the College of Business and The College of Nursing and Health Studies and an advisory board of medical sales professionals to ensure students would gain knowledge and experience to set them up for success. Courses include topics in medical terminology, applying evidence to improve healthcare outcomes, professional selling, and opportunities for internships and surgical observations.
Travis McCoy, a leader in the industry with 20 years of experience in domestic and international healthcare sales, serves as the Southeastern Medical Sales Advisory Board Chair.
“The demand for skilled medical sales representatives is on the rise, and this program aims to serve as a gateway to rewarding career paths,” said McCoy. “Southeastern faculty and the advisory board members are committed to providing students with industry knowledge and the networking opportunities they need to thrive.”
