Atlanta.Not a location: a reason.
There are only a handful of cities in the US where a program like this can actually exist. Atlanta is one of them. It has the hospital density, the surgeon volume, the medical device corporate presence, and the national logistics reach to get our graduates into rooms and connected to hiring managers anywhere in the country.
Why the 25-mile radius matters.
Every hospital partnership sits inside a 25-mile radius of the campus. That's the physical constraint that makes 30+ cases per cohort logistically possible.
Piedmont, Emory, Northside, WellStar, Grady, plus independent ASCs. Enough volume redundancy that a single facility's scheduling doesn't gate the cohort.
Hartsfield-Jackson is the world's busiest airport. A MedRep graduate can interview coast-to-coast from Atlanta the week after completing the cohort.
What a Tuesday in the cohort actually looks like.
A MedRep day isn't a classroom day. You're moving between the campus, the OR, and instructor-led debriefs in a rhythm that mirrors the real working cadence of a device rep. Here's what a typical mid-program Tuesday looks like during the OR-observation phase.
Pre-case study & commute
Review tomorrow's case pack — surgeon preference cards, implant catalog, procedure notes — and commute to the assigned facility.
Arrive at the hospital
Badged entry, check in through vendor credentialing, change in the designated staff area. Meet the rep and surgeon if not already introduced.
Case observation — OR 3
Orthopedic total joint case. Observe tray layout, instrumentation flow, and the rep's interaction with the surgeon and scrub team throughout.
Second case — OR 5
Spine instrumentation case. Different surgeon, different specialty, different tray system. Same observation framework.
Debrief with preceptor
Structured debrief on what was observed, what the rep did well, what would have happened if the tray was short, and what the student should take into the next case.
Campus — instrumentation lab
Hands-on time with loaner trays. Reinforce the anatomy and instrumentation from the morning's cases at your own pace.
Portfolio work & case log
Log the day's cases, update the portfolio, prep tomorrow's pre-read. The cadence mirrors exactly what a working rep does.
Getting to Atlanta. Staying in Atlanta.
