Clinical Consultant - Anonymous employee BD Employee Review

The San Diego based Alaris training program for per diem Clinical Consultants was an awful experience. It did not resemble corporate training, but rather a flash-back to a freshman nursing class with a mean instructor whose goal was to have at least 2 students cry and drop-out before the semester was over. The instructor was punitive and aggressive. I have never been treated so unprofessionally before in any setting. I heard that the goal for per diem medical device educators, is that the attendees who do not move on to be active educators (for whatever reason) at least leave the training as “brand ambassadors”… meaning, experts on the device who had a great experience with the company. That was not the case in our training, we all left with a horrible impression of the company, feeling defeated and mentally exhausted.
