Helping saves lives since 2009 - PrepMD is everything cardiac
The PrepMD story starts in the cardiac industry
Co-founders Matt O’Neal and Bob Mattioli had both worked their way up through the ranks from device specialists to sales representatives to senior managers and officers by the early 2000s. And they both recognized a similar problem within highly specialized medical device careers: the real risk most organizations ran when making new hires was an unacceptably high new hire attrition rate.
The company was founded to serve the need of trained cardiac device specialists, but soon grew to include cardiac staffing services and cardiac device remote monitoring services. The staff at PrepMD has over 240 years of medical device industry experience and over 150 years of clinical experience. Today, PrepMD is a well recognized brand in the cardiac field with industry and healthcare clients across the US.
PrepMD Training & Placement
Since the company’s founding in 2009, PrepMD has completed 25 sessions and trained more than 400 participants—and our placement rate is 98% within the industry or the healthcare sector. After 24 weeks of didactic learning, simulation training, and clinical rotations, new hires from PrepMD are placed as highly productive cardiac device and electrophysiology mapping clinical specialists. “Our graduates can have a direct impact on people’s quality of life,” says Matt. PrepMD LLC is also an approved training site for several companies and health care providers.
PrepMD Direct & Contract Staffing
PrepMD has directly placed or contracted over 400 trained professionals with medical device and healthcare employers across the US. The cardiac medical device field is a demanding one. Specialists need a high degree of clinical and technical knowledge, besides business savvy in case of medical device companies. Hiring managers now ask for prior experience or training while filling these positions.
This need is the core philosophy of the PrepMD concept: providing a better vetted and better prepared pool of talent who arrive on the job with a strong understanding of what their role is and can successfully execute that role accordingly. Our Contract Staffing Organization, PrepMD Professionals LLC delivers cardiac medical device specialists who can tackle your service burden and sales support needs today.
PrepMD Remote Monitoring Services
PrepMD RMS is a leading cardiac device remote monitoring service provider offering customized solutions to device clinics ranging from 20 patients to over 8000 remotely monitored patients. PrepMD RMS was founded to address an increasing burden on clinics striving to provide better standard of care to patients with CIEDs including pacemakers, ICDs and ILRs. With advancements in remote monitoring technologies and studies proving that remote monitoring represents a standard of care for patients with cardiac devices, there is a growing need for highly qualified professionals to manage the device clinics.
