About your past

What they are checking: Whether they can unseat a habit with clinical value and patience rather than price alone.

How do you work with OR staff, perfusion and purchasing, not just the surgeon?

Describe a time you lost a deal. What did you change afterward?

What would you do

This role works with cardiac surgeons in Wisconsin. How would you earn a surgeon's trust in your first few months?

A case runs long and you have another hospital expecting you in an hour. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they plan coverage and communicate early when two commitments collide.

A hospital value analysis committee is reviewing your product against a cheaper option. How do you prepare?

About the work

What they are checking: Whether they understand preparation, sizing support and their proper role in the operating room.

How would you explain the difference between surgical and transcatheter approaches to structural heart disease?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the treatment landscape their surgical products compete and coexist in.

What do you know about mitral and aortic valve disease?

What they are checking: Whether they have the anatomy and disease basics to hold a clinical conversation.

How do you manage inventory and consignment across the hospitals in your territory?

What they are checking: Whether they keep the right sizes on hand, since a missing size can stop a surgery.
