Erika entered the medical sales industry after completing an intensive 440-hour postgraduate program at Medical Sales College in Sarasota, Florida.

The program gave her a strong foundation in regenerative medicine, consultative sales techniques, orthopedic and trauma devices, and business development strategies. These skills positioned her to grow sales territories, attract new customers, and support medical teams with precision and professionalism.

Mackinnon gained comprehensive knowledge of spine procedures, biologics, orthopedic reconstruction, trauma, and sports medicine. Her academic training also included anatomy, physiology, pathology, biomechanics, orthobiologics, and medical terminology.

During her certification program, Erika began her career as a Sales Associate with SS Fusion Medica in Tampa, Florida. There, she supported coverage across designated territories, arranged meetings with physicians and healthcare staff, and developed lasting relationships with medical and administrative professionals.

After a year, Mackinnon joined Globus Medical in Memphis, Tennessee, where she has worked for the past four years. Her responsibilities include supporting surgical cases, managing provider relations, expanding market share, and participating in procedures such as ACDF, PCF, TLIF, PLIF, ALIF, lateral lumbar fusion, and complex spinal deformity corrections.
