AIMS. Is it for real?


This school gives me bad vibes. I agree with all the comments that it is just out to steal your money. It is impossible to contact any of their students who did not find a med sales job after their program.
 

EliteMed-MSC is nothing but a reinvented modeling school scam. They lure you with bogus job ads and unverifiable testimonials, manipulate you using your sense of hope and vanity, and in the end leave you jobless and thousands of dollars poorer.

Use commonsense when dealing with this school since if you decide to pay for their program and find yourself in a worse situation afterwards, they will blame you by calling you a LOSER!!!

Commonsense? Learn how to spell loser. Did you mean, common sense?

You definitely need some medication. The sad part is there is no vaccine against stupidity.

If you were my dog, I'd shave your butt and teach you to walk backwards.

Nomination for post of the year.

Maybe scam is not the right word, but it is easily a terrible investment of time and money.

I would say best investment ever for the 81% that get placed! MUCH better than any other option!

1.7 million graduates this year in traditional school... No jobs! Now that's a terrible short-term investment.

Many With New College Degree Find the Job Market Humbling - NY Times

The median starting salary for students graduating from four-year colleges in 2009 and 2010 was $27,000, down from $30,000 for those who entered the work force in 2006 to 2008, according to a study released on Wednesday by the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University. That is a decline of 10 percent, even before taking inflation into account.

Of course, these are the lucky ones — the graduates who found a job. Among the members of the class of 2010, just 56 percent had held at least one job by this spring


56% placement almost one year later? At $27,000!

You can get into medical sales with a high school degree. Also, a Bachelor's degree or MBA may be used for countless types of jobs, including medical sales.

A Medical Sales College certificate, on the other hand, is specifically for medical sales. If one graduates from MSC but doesn't obtain a medical sales job, then one is stuck with a useless certificate and $10,000 in the hole.

MSC's 81% placement claim is unverifiable, and is probably untrue.

Although true that the MSC certificate helps you obtain a job in medical sales, the real value I found was after you get the job. Look at almost any of the testimonies and most if not all talk about how the education helped once they had the job. I can tell you that my hiring manager told me that I was better prepared than most reps at three years. Having the business development skills, territory planning, surgeon profiling and most important the confidence in conversation was the real value. In my mind it has been worth 10 times what I paid for the certification. There is a reason why 500 graduates have been hired with this certification. This is 50 times plus any recruitment company!

I have used recruiters for years in this industry (PS I have never had to pay one in 15 years) and asked several about this "school" and their claims of placement. I agree with the poster above they are not realistic and no other recrutier states such claims because they are honest recruiters. If it seems to good to be true, it usually is.

You have been using recruiters for years and never paid for one? How many times did you need to find a new job?

Do you seriously believe any recruiter would say a positive thing about a company that places more in a month than 10 recruiters combined? If you are new to device, just google the medical device excise tax. In 2013 all device manufactures will pay 2.3% tax on top line revenue. You have seen several companies already lay off huge numbers of operational support in order to cut costs. There is no better place to cut costs than recruiting and training. Paying $15k for an un-qualified or under-qualified rep is gone! Deferring training costs while eliminating recruiting costs completely is a no brainer. Like this MSC or not, I can assure you, they are the future! Recruiters see it now!!!!!

As usual, your response is abysmal.

For the record, real recruiters ONLY recruit experienced medical sales reps CURRENTLY working in medical sales.

EliteMed, on the other hand, recruits anyone willing and able to pay MSC's tuition. No experienced medical sales rep ever signs up with MSC.

Therefore, real recruiters usually produce higher quality reps than EliteMed can.

Finally, a hiring company paying $2,000 for an inexperienced MSC grad is unfathomable. But I suspect, in reality, EliteMed still charges hiring companies nothing, since EliteMed, like AIMS and Blue Chip, still makes all of its money from desperate jobseekers. EliteMed is not a recruiter at all, but a job agency.

So now you're saying you are a recruiter. Got it. Posts make sense now.

Thank you for defending and supporting my original post. It's sad that I was questioned about my ability from the scam school. I work in the start up world where you are given stock options and move on to the next after the IPO or a buyout. I have done so successfully 4 times in the last 10 years. I hope that answers your questions on how many times I used a recruiter, but I do get calls on a weekly basis because I am a skilled and talented rep who did not and would not have ever used such a recruiter I had to pay for. And again I agree with the the statement above that-real recruiters only work with those who have been in the industry or have a solid resume. Elite is accepting anyone who has a check that clears.
