About your past

Tell me about a time you grew a new therapy in an account that was skeptical at first.

What they are checking: Whether they have opened doors with clinical evidence and patience, not just relationships.

Walk me through how you would find the right patients and the right accounts in a large western territory.

What they are checking: Whether they can plan a territory around heart failure volume, referral patterns and implanting centers.

What do you know about heart failure, its classes and why hospital readmissions matter?

How would you support an implant case in the cath lab?

What they are checking: Whether they understand their role in the room and the limits of what a rep should do during a procedure.

How do you stay within compliance rules when building relationships with physicians?
