Medical Device Sales Certification

The Medical Device Sales Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests medical device sales skills — device regulation and product knowledge, ethics, compliance and transparency, selling to hospitals and clinicians, and clinical support, operating room conduct and account management — written to the AdvaMed Code of Ethics, the MedTech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice, US Open Payments rules, FDA device pathways and the EU MDR for 2026. Rules vary by country; follow your company's compliance policies. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Medical Device Sales Proficiency certificate (SOA-MDS). Every question is based on published standards and research — including AdvaMed Code of Ethics on Interactions with Health Care Professionals (AdvaMed), Premarket submissions: selecting and preparing the correct submission (US Food and Drug Administration), Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices (MDR) (European Union) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: AdvaMed Code of Ethics on Interactions with Health Care Professionals (AdvaMed); Premarket submissions: selecting and preparing the correct submission (US Food and Drug Administration); Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices (MDR) (European Union); Open Payments (Sunshine Act) program (US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services); MedTech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice (MedTech Europe). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Device Regulation and Product Knowledge (Classes, Pathways and Evidence); Ethics, Compliance and Transparency (Codes, Kickbacks and Reporting); Selling to Hospitals and Clinicians (Stakeholders and Value analysis); Clinical Support, Operating Room Conduct and Account Management (OR and Credentialing). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Medical device sales representative, Clinical specialist or product specialist, Territory or key account manager, Surgical device rep and Sales trainee moving into medtech. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show Medical Device Sales knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

Device reps often support procedures in person, train clinical staff on equipment, and sell to hospital value analysis committees and procurement as well as surgeons. They must follow device-specific ethics codes such as AdvaMed or MedTech Europe and transparency rules.

Key rules include anti-kickback laws, codes of ethics on meals, gifts and travel, transparency reporting such as US Open Payments, never promoting off-label uses, and promptly reporting product complaints and adverse events to the manufacturer.
