As of Oct 21, 2026, there are 383 live clinical specialist postings. Median advertised annual base: $92,814 (n=300), versus $127,800 nationally.
Roles titled clinical specialist: the person who supports the case in the operating room, the cath lab or the EP lab. A clinical specialist is usually paired with a territory manager or sales rep. The rep wins the account; the clinical specialist covers the procedures, trains the staff and is the one the physician calls when a case is on the schedule. Many carry a share of the territory goal; check each posting for how the pay is split. Employers often hire into these roles from the hospital: nurses, cardiovascular and surgical technologists, and allied health staff who already know the room. Read each posting for the procedures it covers, how much on-call and travel it asks, and whether it leads to a quota-carrying sales role. Listed here only when the job title itself says clinical specialist, including field clinical specialist and senior or associate grades. A sales posting that only mentions working with clinical specialists is not on this page. 383 open roles right now. Every listing here has a job title that names this role; a posting that only mentions it in its text is not listed.

As of Oct 21, 2026, 226 matching postings state a minimum of zero to two years, while 10 do not state a minimum. These are stated experience requirements, not a guarantee of entry-level eligibility. A posting can require industry experience, a credential or a particular background separately; read the employer's qualifications before applying.
The median advertised annual base is $92,814, calculated from 300 qualifying postings as of Oct 21, 2026. This uses each published range's midpoint and excludes hourly rates and on-target earnings. It measures advertised base pay, not take-home pay or first-year total compensation. 82% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Oct 21, 2026 are Abbott (108), Stryker (49), Medtronic (35). These are currently advertised postings on MedSales Radar, not a complete census of hiring or proof of expansion. Counts can change after an employer refreshes its careers site; use the linked listings to check current requirements and locations.
0 of 383 matching postings are flagged remote as of Oct 21, 2026, meaning worked from home with no field territory; 248 state a travel percentage. A field role run from a home office is not counted as remote, because it involves customer visits and a defined territory. A missing remote flag does not establish an office requirement, and an unstated travel percentage does not mean no travel. Confirm territory and travel expectations with the employer.
