Chance for abroad?

Hello fellow MT's. Is there still a chance for me to get a job abroad as a medtech? Pref sa US?

Background: 30 (M) PRC holder since 2019 After graduation, been in the BPO industry. No experience in any hospital, pero reliever sa mga clinics.

I am thinking of looking for work sa mga hospitals and labs ngayon. If I get hired and stay for 2 yrs experience, may chance pa bang mkpag abroad?

Thank you in advance for the responses. I Appreciate din sa may mga similar na experience na naging successful ang journey to abroad at magshare dito. Para narin sa ibang makakarelate at makakabasa :)

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out here because I’m working on an exciting project that means a lot to me personally. My name is Philipp Oliver Christ, and I started at Staiger GmbH, a German company specializing in solenoid valves, proportional valves, and custom fluidic systems, as a student and social media manager. Over time, I’ve had the chance to grow into the role of sales and business development.

Right now, I’m working hard to build partnerships, especially with companies in Brazil, and here’s why:

• My current contract runs until May, and if I can successfully connect with more companies by then, I’ll have the chance to extend it and continue supporting my family.
• I truly believe in the quality of our products and their potential to add value to medical devices, especially anesthesia machines, and other technical systems.

I’m looking for:

• Manufacturers in Brazil who could integrate our valves into their devices (e.g., medical, industrial, or automation equipment).
• Distributors or business representatives interested in a long-term collaboration in the region.

If this resonates with you or you know someone who might be interested, I’d be so grateful if you reached out! You can reply here or contact me via email at philipp.christ@staiger.de. Feel free to visit our website at www.staiger.de to learn more about us.

Thank you for taking the time to read this—your support means the world to me!

Best regards,

Philipp Oliver Christ

Ask ko lang po sana kung may nagka problema na po dito sa pag take ng board exam pag dating sa pinasang passport id? Nakapag file na po kasi ako ng application and ang naipasa ko pong picture is covered po yung tenga ko which is now ko lang po na check na hindi daw po maipprocess yung application mo pag ganun kasi ang kailangan is hindi po nakatakip yung tenga. Hindi na po ba ako makakapag exam sa board exam this season, delay, or disqualify na ako. Badly need your insights!

Well, besides sa mas tipid yung online kasi di ka mag-rerent. May advantage po ba yung F2F/Hybrid as compared to online in terms of being prepared for the board exam?

Hi guys! Ask ko lang po for advice, especially sa mga medtech students or alumni. I’m currently on my gap year, and yung 1st sem ko, I really focused on my mental health kasi sobrang naging challenging yung last school year for me grabe yung anxiety and overthinking. Nagpa consult nadin ako, started meds, and worked on myself. Happy to say na okay na ako ngayon and I’m in a much better place!

Now that I’m entering the 2nd sem of my gap year, gusto ko naman maging productive and prepare for my return to school this August. I’m an irregular 3rd-year student, and sa 3rd year subjects ko, Histopath pa lang yung natapos ko. So basically, I still have 7 major subjects to take.

I want to start reviewing or doing readings ahead, pero honestly, hindi ko alam kung saan ako magsisimula. Any suggestions kung ano ang magandang unahin or paano mag prepare? Also, baka may alam kayong Discord servers or groups na nag teach ng mga 3rd year medtech subjects para kahit papaano, parang pumasok pa rin ako kahit naka gap year. Hehe.

Would really appreciate any recommendations or tips! Thank you so much in advance!

Has anyone here experienced being transferred to new Int'l Program Advisor, and still no update from the advisor? Is there any negative reason bakit sila ng tatransfer ng candidate to new IPA?

I'm tired of hearing all negative things about the Medical Technology field, I'd like to see positive things only for once!

What to prepare sa upcoming na DTA po? May pag aaralan po ba before sa date mismo? Pahingi po ng advice/tips.

I have decided to leave the NHS to explore whether working in the medical industry can provide the life I want. If I don’t find what I want, I can always return to clinical work or explore other paths. However, I know I would regret not trying. I’m asking for your serious, actionable advice. Here’s an anonymised summary of my situation:

My Motivation

I’m in my early career stage and have sacrificed my youth, time, money, relationships with family and friends, and hobbies to become a doctor. After a few years of clinical work, I’ve realised that the work/medicolegal risk/compensation ratio in clinical practice (especially surgery) is unacceptable.

The NHS is getting worse daily for known reasons. I tried to compensate for this in my own way by negotiating my salary, but no luck. The “return on investment” of being a clinician has been dream-shattering, and I do not believe things will improve. Even if they did in the future, it would not do any good to me after I wasted my entire youth undervalued and overworked. I’m ready to explore opportunities in the medical industry, hoping they will be better, and I am asking for your advice on my next steps.

My Background (Summarised)

• Medical School (distinction)
• Qualifications in Clinical Research and Medical Education
• Extensive teaching experience and outstanding credentials
• Multiple publications, conference presentations, strong research abilities
• A few years of clinical experience in the NHS

My Imminent Plans (Feel free to comment on these)

1. Get a professional LinkedIn profile review (I’d rather not redo it from scratch myself).
2. Get a professional CV review for the same reason.
3. Start looking for positions via LinkedIn and apply.
4. Resign from my current post and serve my notice period.
5. Take a brief career pause to recharge, focus on personal development, and continue my job search.
6. Submit my CV to companies’ talent pools for relevant roles.

What I am Hoping to Find

1. Timeframe: In the next 6 months
2. Location: London is preferred
3. Hours: Regular weekday hours without night/weekend commitments
4. Benefits: Paid time off (annual, sick leave, etc.) and additional corporate benefits
5. Setting: Office or hybrid preferred, minimal site-to-site travel if possible
6. Salary: Competitive starting salary aligned with my experience and London living costs (ideally equivalent to £4,500–5,000 monthly take-home pay in the short/medium term if not starting salary)
7. Team Environment: Prefer working with different people, not the same team every day
8. Additional Qualifications: I prefer not to get another degree or an extended course

Request for Serious Actionable Advice

1. How can I decide which domain in the medical industry I should work in?
   • I’m interested in Medical Devices, Biotechnology, Health Technology, Medical Education, Hospital Management/Consulting, and Pharmaceuticals (Pharma is least preferable but still can be considered).
2. Which positions or job titles should I be looking for?
3. What websites (besides LinkedIn) should I use for job searching?
4. Is it a good idea to sign up for headhunting firms? If so, which ones?
5. Any additional advice you think might be helpful?

I appreciate your thoughts in advance. Please, serious advice and strictly constructive criticism, if you must.

I work in a medical device industry and I'm considering starting a weekly newsletter that simplifies complex ISO standards and FDA regulations for medical devices into easy-to-understand language. Each week, I'd focus on a different topic to assist both students and professionals in navigating these important guidelines. Before I proceed, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the following:

• Would you find this kind of newsletter helpful?
• Are there specific topics or regulations you'd like me to cover?
  • For example, are there particular ISO standards or FDA regulations that you find especially challenging or would like more clarity on?
• Any tips on how to make this resource as useful as possible?
  • Suggestions could include preferred formats (e.g., text, video), length of content, frequency of issues, or any other features that would enhance the newsletter's value for you.

I appreciate any feedback you can share! FYI, this is not a promotion. Just trying to get feedback on a idea.

hi baka may CM review materials kayo kay Sir Jacque ng MTAP 1? Exam ko na kasi bukas, kinakabahan po ako 😭

Thanks

Hey all, currently have offers in product marketing, analytics, and clinical specialist.

About me-

1. Have experience in all. Liked marketing/analytics because they were more laid back but like the idea of the money in sales
2. I like routine and money and don’t like being told what to do
3. I like to travel, but not too much
4. I work best independently and am motivated by promotions, respect, and bonuses
5. Currently in the recon space but specifically working in robotics

What is the best move for my career long term and financially? I’m kind of open to other industries outside of medtech but do find technology and AI fascinating.

Thanks

Hello mga katusok, sa mga nag undergo na po ng DTA Training baka nakeep niyo pa ang Manual and Handbook for DTA. Badly needed for review ng mga concepts ulit, kahit bayaran ko na po. TIA sa sasagot

Hi MedTech,

I wanted to get your thoughts on a new wearable concept I recently discovered—Evasync. It’s a device designed for prenatal health monitoring that works a bit like glucose monitors but is specific to pregnancy.

It tracks hormones like progesterone, glucose, hydration, and even stress levels to deliver personalized health insights. The idea is to give mothers more control and awareness over their health during pregnancy.

As exciting as it sounds, it does raise questions about the reliability of such data for medical decisions and how it might change the patient-doctor relationship. Could devices like this become a vital tool in preventative maternal healthcare, or do you think it’s too invasive?

If you’d like to take a look, their Instagram has more details: u/eva_sync
