What does a Medical Device Specialist do?
A medical device specialist provides critical expertise to physicians and patients to ensure successful implantation and ongoing functionality of medical devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. EP Mapping clinical specialists enable successful cardiac electrophysiology mapping and ablation procedures. These clinical specialist jobs exist throughout the healthcare space, including cardiology specialty areas such as structural heart and interventional cardiology. Job opportunities exist at major medical device companies and healthcare systems anywhere in the country. A clinical specialist enjoys a dynamic role and a personally satisfying career while making a difference in the lives of patients.
