Day in the Life: Medical Device CRDM Pacemaker Clinical Specialist

SUBSCRIBE for more: / @medicaldevicematt
One of the best roles I had in the Medical Device field was the Pacemaker Clinical Specialist for Medtronic (Boston Scientific, Abbott, and Biotronik are all great companies too!). This role has high patient and physician interaction, field team collaboration, and rewarding days.
I'll take you through a typical day in the life of the pacemaker clinical specialist where we perform the in-person pacemaker clinic. We use a special "programmer" to interrogate the patient's pacemaker. During this analysis, we make sure the pacemaker is functioning within normal limits and communicate the report to the physician. Then, we run to the "Cath Lab" in the hospital to support a physician who is implanting a dual lead pacemaker. We are responsible testing the leads during surgery and answering any questions the physician might have.
In this video, you'll get an insider's look in this vital role we play for these patients and 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!
