I have a BA in Biological Sciences. I noticed that was one of the requirements for the position in question. I received a solid foundation of knowledge in science. Most of my classes were actually in chemistry. I loved the labs the most. I feel like I learned the most from the labs. On the topic of learning, shortly after graduating college I gained employment with allergan. I was taught to be non-compliant from day one. As a 25- or 26-year-old, I had no idea what compliance was in the pharma rep world. I wonder how far up the chain I had to go before I found somebody who knew what compliance was and knew the entire salesforce was acting in a way that was non-compliant?
A BA in Biological Sciences degree is not advanced enough to engage in a clinical conversation with a physician about a medicine while representing a pharmaceutical company. I had to figure out on my own what compliance means or at least what is definitely acting in a non-compliant way. If I knew then what I know now, I would have gone into agriculture.
