Based in Richmond, Virginia, Medworks is a supplier of leading-edge endoscopic technologies providing unsurpassed service and support. We are a nationally expanding surgical services company, partnering with hospitals and surgery centers to deliver reliable case coverage and exceptional customer experience.
This is a hands-on internship for students who want real experience in healthcare sales and surgical services. Interns will learn how to prospect, make field sales calls, and set meetings, while also learning how the operating room works by observing clinical workflow and sitting in on cases (when approved and appropriate). You'll work directly with sales leadership and the field team, gaining a rare blend of commercial and clinical exposure.
