Great discussion, I am curious to know if there are opportunities in the medical device field for un-licensed MDâs who did not complete residency training.
Thank you Shawn! Yes, there are opportunities for unlicensed MD’s in the medical device field. The Medical Science Liason is a great role where a license is not required. This podcast features an MD who is working as an MSL. https://doctorscrossing.com/70/
