One of the more peculiar medical job professions that is most usually found in countries with relaxed laws on medical economics is that of the medical representative.
Medical representatives or med reps are basically marketing executives hired by pharmaceutical companies to basically hawk the companies’ medical products to doctors and hospitals. The medical representative is tasked to talk to doctors to present their products and basically entice them to prescribe the products to their patients. Med reps will do various things in order to gain the loyalty of the doctors, like wining and dining them or sending them to various trips. There is a moral line that they are actually crossing, which is the reason why this profession also gets some flak from some quarters.
