As of Nov 6, 2026, there are 224 live critical care and emergency medical sales postings. Median advertised annual base: $115,000 (n=74), versus $130,000 nationally.
The emergency department, the intensive care unit and EMS — ventilators, monitoring, vascular access, resuscitation and rapid diagnostics. Buying here is protocol-driven and committee-driven rather than physician-preference. Nurses and respiratory therapists have genuine influence over what gets used, and the sale is usually about becoming the standard for a pathway rather than winning one clinician over. The clinical bar is high and the hours are less punishing than the operating room, because you are not tied to a case schedule. A lot of these roles are filled by people who worked in the unit first. EMS agencies, fire departments and ambulance services are filed here too. The industry sells to them through its emergency care businesses, beside the hospital emergency department. 224 open roles right now. Every listing here either names this setting in the posting itself or names a product line that is only sold in one place — never a guess from the employer's industry.

As of Nov 6, 2026, 107 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 $115,000, calculated from 74 qualifying postings as of Nov 6, 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. 42% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Nov 6, 2026 are Stryker (42), Viemed (32), Ceribell (20). 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.
4 of 224 matching postings are flagged remote as of Nov 6, 2026, meaning worked from home with no field territory; 145 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.
