To the "Practitioner"-
I'm not disagreeing with your comments on arrogant reps, but for the record, Pharma Reps are required to have a four-year college degree. In addition, most are encouraged, if not required, to have certified medical representative training. That is in addition to on-going training and testing by the company. At Pfizer you are terminated if you can't get a test score of 80% after a couple tries. The tests cover product and disease state information. But you are correct that some in this profession think they are rocket scientists. I will admit that and I am a Rep myself.
