Terry was the idiot who came up with certification. Amy was the one who made it happen. I went through certification when I worked there and it has nothing to do with real world surgery. If it did there wouldn't be 50% turnover at Tornier. Never once has a surgeon asked about training in a company. If you can't tell them the right instruments the doc won't use you. If you can you will be a good rep. When Amy is fired and certification is gone you will see reps and managers start acting like an Ortho company. One that actually has direct reps that do well not only the distributors. Look at the productivity between the direct reps and distributors. None of the distributor reps are certified and they grew 4 times as fast. Any moron can figure that out except the morons that are named Terry, Amy, and Missy.
