To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to apply for the Medical Sales Representative position covering the Gainesville, FL territory. I bring over five years of hands-on experience working directly in high-acuity operating room environments, supporting surgeons, navigating perioperative workflows, and building trusted clinical relationships in hospital and surgical center settings.

My background includes extensive OR exposure across hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB), foregut, upper GI, and colorectal specialties, where I worked closely with five attending surgeons in a surgical research and clinical support capacity. In this role, I was routinely present for complex cases, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and served as a consistent point of contact for surgeon needs—experience that translates directly to effective OR-based sales and account management.

I am highly comfortable operating in fast-paced surgical settings, presenting clinical information to physicians, and supporting products or technologies used intraoperatively. I also bring a strong clinical foundation, including completion of one year of medical school during the COVID-19 pandemic, which further strengthened my ability to communicate with surgeons and decision-makers at a high level.

I currently reside approximately one hour from Gainesville and have spent the past decade commuting and covering extended territories, including a current two-hour commute, making travel and territory coverage second nature to me.

Attached is my CV for your review. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my OR experience, relationship-building skills, and clinical insight could support your growth objectives in regenerative medicine. Please feel free to reach out if additional information would be helpful—I would be glad to schedule a call at your convenience.

Best regards,
TJ
Timothy Bourdeau
