I worked with a Life Science Leader who made a HUGE mistake by hiring an award-winning scientist; here’s what happened... All too often, Hiring Managers get excited by the wrong candidates. I recently worked with a Life Science Leader who made a huge hiring mistake. They received an application from an award-winning scientist and invited him for an interview. They were blown away. His passion and enthusiasm were incredible. They hired him. Now, three months later, they need my help. The Scientist wants to follow his own scientific and growth initiatives. And he doesn’t pay much attention to the “mundane” day-to-day tasks expected of him. The Leaders don’t want him to be bored and waste his talent. But they also don’t can’t give him special treatment and upset other employees. They’ve had to restructure the team, and now they need to hire someone else to do his job. Luckily, they’re taking a different approach this time. They’re looking for a hands-on candidate who can work collaboratively and has a far more objective view beyond scientific excellence. Plus, they’re working with a Life Science recruitment expert (me!) who can help them make the right call. Here’s the lesson: Even if you think a candidate will win a Nobel Prize one day, it doesn't mean they're the best fit for your team.

Ever pondered whether a career in medical devices could be your ticket to professional fulfillment? Let's explore why it might just be your next great career move! All over the world, the medical devices and pharmaceutical sectors are booming. The medical devices market in Australia is forecast to achieve a revenue of AUD$6.73bn in 2024. It is expected that the market will experience a steady annual growth rate of 6.66% from 2024 to 2028, resulting in a market volume of AUD $8.71 billion by 2028. Whether you’re a fresh graduate or an experienced professional considering switching to a new line of work, here’s how you can start a career in medical devices: Industry Insight: Understand the products, services, and solutions offered by different companies in the MedTech sector. Familiarise yourself with industry trends and challenges. Essential Skills: Hone your communication skills, both verbal and written. Practice active listening and empathy to understand the needs of healthcare professionals and patients. Education: While a specific degree may not always be required, a background in life sciences, healthcare administration, or business can be beneficial. Consider pursuing certifications or courses related to customer service and medical technology to enhance your credentials. Networking: Connect with industry professionals through events, forums, and recruitment websites (www.tresp.com.au, for example) for job opportunities. Stay Updated: Keep yourself updated on the latest advancements in medical technology, regulations, and industry news. Demonstrating knowledge and enthusiasm for the field during interviews can set you apart as a candidate. Continual Learning: Once you secure a role in Medtech, embrace opportunities for ongoing learning and development. Stay updated on new products and services, customer service best practices, and industry regulations. Strong demand for innovative and advanced healthcare technologies is driving Australia's medical device market's rapid growth. Think you have what it takes to work in MedTech?

Today marks the end of my time at Boston Scientific Corporation. The past three years have been a whirlwind. I have learned an immense amount about digital tech in the medical device market, about the "dos and don'ts" of organizational leadership, and most especially about myself - what I do best, where I'm growing, and the kind of value I can provide to those around me. In this moment of transition, that last part truly is the most important. Do we regularly make the time to critically examine where we are, how we got there, and if it's really where we want or need to be? We make resolutions on New Year's Eve, but is that the only inflection point throughout the year when we can take stock? Observation and analysis are important tools, never more than when employed on ourselves. Even if it's not happening on its own, force a moment of transition for yourself and step back. Take a breath. Observe your surroundings. Think about what you're doing and where you're headed in your career, and whether you want to change anything for the better. It's been helpful for me. I hope it is for you as well. I have high hopes for my BSC colleagues - I know big things are ahead. I'll have more to say on my own next steps in the coming days, and I'll be more engaged here on the socials going forward. But for now, a few days of funemployment are on the docket - time to rest up and get excited for the road ahead!

Part 2 of: Top ten surprises I had when I switched to working in biotech/pharma R&D after an academic PI job 6. You can’t bring your dog to work.  Our offices are fresh and clean though, and I like the vibe. 7. You don’t have to use your personal cell phone for work!  You get a laptop, monitors and a sit/stand desk all set up for you on your first day! 8. Team science is more balanced in industry.  Experts in specific areas handle those areas.  Whereas in academic collaborations it can be, um, rather uneven. Scientific projects don’t have to be broken into publishable units like in academia. And we have PhD scientists as professional project managers to keep everyone on task and on the appropriate priorities. 9. I have easily doubled the proportion of time I spend on science. I don’t miss the professorial load of tremendous amounts of paperwork related to hiring, grants, data access, journal articles going back and forth 50 times, author signatures etc. (I would guess I used to spend 20% of my time on science as a PI, and it's now > 80%) 10. The drama is substantially less than in academia. People managers have mandatory training on how to communicate, set priorities, be supportive, give feedback, as opposed to just ‘winging it’ as a PI. In industry, people are paid a living wage, they have improved work-life balance, they get decent parental leave (men too, which is great for equality), they are highly skilled and they are respected at work. Conversations and meetings are almost always professional, science-focused and driven to help patients. Again, I’ve only worked at one biotech company and one university, so I have no idea how transferable my observations are to other biotech/pharma companies. Just my own thoughts from my own experiences. (For disclaimers I work at the Regeneron Genetics Center and have experience working only at that one pharma/biotech company for about 1.5 years, and I also spent 19 years in academia, 12 of them as faculty. These thoughts are my own.)

Hey Doc, if you’re in practice growth stage two, around $35,000 per month, and haven’t hired an associate yet, it’s time to take that crucial step! 🌟 With systems in place, a steady new patient flow, and CAs to support, bringing in an associate is essential to moving into growth stage three and beyond. This will give you the flexibility and freedom to continue expanding. Need help hiring your first associate? We’re here to support you.
