Health Sales programs prepare students to sell health-related products and services in the area of health communication. This includes companies that sell pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and health supplies. These firms have a strong need for employees who have the ability to communicate well with others in the healthcare system, as well as with clients and customers. They need people who can explain the complex concepts involved in health products to different types of audiences. They also need salespeople who can manage accounts and establish healthy relationships with good clients.

Students learn about health education, relationships between clients and providers, the diffusion of health information, and public health campaigns. Students develop solid foundations in theories of communication, perceptions of illness and disease, the motivation of customers, and how companies can influence the decisions of customers. Programs cover courses in both communication and medical sciences, as well as study in journalism, media production, social marketing, and related disciplines.
