Description

As you grow and scale out of early start-up mode, there will come a time to hire an internal training department. But when? And who? This week, Liz and Rachel break down the interview with Heather Ramsey diving into what to look for in an internal training team. They cover key qualities to prioritize, the differences between hiring from MedDevice vs. L&D, and how consultants can help bridge the gap and get your internal team up and running.


In 2025, we're embarking on a MedDevice Training Journey: From clinical trials to standard of care. Join us all year long as we explore training at each stage of the product life cycle.
