drug reps
Medicine company representatives
Drug reps are pharmaceutical sales representatives who visit doctors' offices and hospitals to promote medications.
They provide samples, explain clinical data, and build relationships with prescribers: The drug rep brought lunch for the whole staff.
The role combines sales tactics with medical knowledge, though critics argue reps prioritize marketing over patient welfare.
