By choosing a health or science related major (1-6 below), you will develop some fluency in the language of health professionals. You may have a head start on gaining product knowledge, especially if you take courses like human anatomy and physiology or medical terminology. If you are interested in orthopedics, Athletic Training is a demanding major but offers a fantastic combination of practical and theoretical knowledge.
By choosing a business related major, you may develop your analytical abilities which will help you develop your territory and communicate effectively with business leaders like CFOs in the medical world. There are an increasing number of excellent Professional Selling majors and courses offered around the country.
