I moved into the training department when one of my trial drugs went to market. The drug was a first-in-its-class, titratable intravenous opioid which contributed to a novel way of performing anaesthesia (TIVA). Having conducted the research on this drug in South Africa, I was one of the ‘specialists’ in this area at the time. I completed various international train-the-trainer courses in London, United Kingdom. Using these skills, I was able to develop training material and equip sales teams to have confident interactions with specialist physicians in various therapeutic areas. I have developed and presented training workshops in anaesthesiology, neurology, psychiatry, oncology and HIV. I trained the team that launched Combivir, the first HIV drug in South Africa.During this time, I also worked briefly as a sales representative to ensure that the training presented was relevant to the sales teams in the field.
