I looked at the medical sales website and saw that they have a few different programs that they offer. Does it matter what you choose or just completing the course(s) matter the most?

Nah. That’s pharmaceutical sales.

It doesn't really matter. I did the sports medicine program and landed in ortho. They didn't offer ortho reconstruction/trauma when I was there. Strictly sports med and spine and both courses learned biologics. I Know some that did the spine course and ended up in sports med, etc.

You’ll need demonstrable outside sales experience. I’ve landed jobs from LinkedIn and Medreps.com. An associate role as mentioned before is a good route to get in. I’m at a good place now earning a significant income with great work/life balance BUT I went through years of hell to get here. Untold nights on the road and every Hampton Inn in the South but that’s because I chose to live in a “rural” area. If you’re in a city you might not have to go through that.
Recruiters are the gate keepers of the interviews. Get in touch with as many as you can. And as with most careers with a high income potential, more people fail than succeed. And once you succeed you’re still one comp plan change away from starting over.

Your options are to break in as an associate sales rep and basically grind out, for low to decent pay (depending on company), and grind for 2-3 years until you get a shot. This is assuming you prove yourself.
Or get a sales job outside of industry and have documented success. From here you’ll either try to connect to medical recruiters via LinkedIn and/or have a connection in med. device sales.
Good luck! I broke in at 23 and I’m 36 now.

I work 10 days every month and I’m gonna clear 350k

Genetic testing companies is something you should consider. My friend is a director over six sales teams. Their reps are 110K-140k base with a 50/50 comp plan and aren't treated like shite like in device sales. Making W-2 earnings of 250K-$400k if you make and exceed plan. Legit. My friend makes less than his successful reps as the boss. He gets some stock stuff so there is that.
