About this episode

In this episode of the Medical Sales Podcast, Samuel Adeyinka sits down with April Hoffman, a former physical therapist who transitioned into medical sales after realizing that the demands of clinical practice were no longer aligned with her financial goals, family life, and long-term career ambitions. April shares the realities of physical therapy, including rising education costs, reimbursement challenges, burnout, and the misconceptions many students have about their future careers. She walks through her 18-month journey into medical sales, explaining how networking, persistence, resume revisions, and learning to position her clinical experience helped her land her first role. April also reveals how medical sales allowed her to use her clinical knowledge in a new way, expand her impact on patient care, and build a more sustainable lifestyle while growing professionally. Whether you're a physical therapist considering a career change, a healthcare professional exploring alternative career paths, or someone looking to break into medical sales, April's story offers an honest look at the challenges, opportunities, and possibilities of making the transition.
