Day in the Life: Medical Device TAVR Structural Heart Clinical Specialist

SUBSCRIBE for more: / @medicaldevicematt One of the best roles I had in Medical Device Sales was the TAVR Clinical Specialist for Medtronic (Edwards Lifesciences and Abbott are all great companies too!). This role differs from the previous role I highlighted (Pacemaker Clinical Specialist) in that you have less patient interaction in the cardiology clinic; however, this offers high level physician and Cath/Lab OR interaction. Additionally, this role scrubs into the operating suite to prep and load the surgical heart valve... One of last roles in Medical Device where you are scrubbing in! I'll take you through a typical day in the life of the TAVR clinical specialist where we support two TAVR procedures, discuss recent data at a cardiology office, and perform a tailored heart analysis for a patient with CT/X-ray images. This role falls under the structural heart umbrella, which is a really exciting business unit to be a part of because it is innovative, new technology, minimally invasive, and a fast growing field. In this video, you'll get an insider's look in this vital role we play for these patients and Cardio-thoracic Surgeons / Interventional Cardiologists who we support! Whether you're considering a career in medical devices, are curious about pacemakers, or simply want to learn more about the Medical Device field, this video is for you! ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction 00:39 Why TAVR 02:34 Kicking Off The Day 04:00 What is TAVR 04:44 Covering the TAVR Surgical Procedure 07:33 Cardiology Clinic Lunch 09:20 Analyzing Heart Images for Valve Size (Pre-Case Planning) 10:53 Wrapping Up the Day ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The content provided by The Medical Device Matt is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered legal, health, or professional advice.
