Jay - great. It seems like it has potential to be constructive. I 'd also call or email Elisabeth Freeman and request assistance and advice.

I did send out a few messages VIA MVP Portal. Today is Sunday so, I will wait and see this week. Again, Thanks.

I believe you can use the search feature to search for a mentor on the MedTech Veterans MVP Portal. I believe the program with deadlines as a separate complementary program.

Also reach out to the program staff and ask how to find a mentor and for assistance with your career development and job search.

I just now populated my Bio in MVP Portal and I watched the Video about the MVP Program. There they mentioned upcoming MedTechVet Bootcamps in other states but have not heard of definite dates; I am in Pittsburgh.

Sorry for the delay, my email was out of service on my phone. I did receive a response in regards to MedtechVets i.e. was told there will be another application window in February so, I will apply.

I did join the MVP Portal last week and sent out a couple of requests for general information. A few of the Mentors I discovered have not been online for quite some time. I was contacted by someone asking if I was seeking to become mentor or mentee and I indicated that I was seeking mentorship in the Medical Device industry and have not heard anything further unless messages are doing to my spam which I do check.

I appreciate the help and information.

Jay - I believe the deadline refers to only one of the "MVP Boot Camp", not the MVP Portal.

I think you can still join the network today and use it today to search for mentors from the online network / "MVP Portal". Let us know what you find.

Jay, your heading says "Cardian" Pacemaker sales; do you mean Cardiac? If so, should change your heading. How are you approaching your search? I have a relative in a high level cardiac sales position and can find out the specific background you will need, and also see if she can tell me what you can do to make some contacts in the industry.

Thank you,

I did inquire but the application deadline was last August. I have asked if there will be future programs but have not received a reply. So, I keep on seeking other opportunities.
