As of Sep 22, 2026, 126 matching postings state a minimum of zero to two years, while 0 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 $100,000, calculated from 114 qualifying postings as of Sep 22, 2026. This uses each published range's midpoint and excludes hourly rates, on-target earnings and non-promotional field-support roles. It measures advertised base pay, not take-home pay or first-year total compensation. 93% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Sep 22, 2026 are ZOLL Medical (32), Abbott (22), AtriCure (11). 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 126 matching postings carry a remote or home-based location flag as of Sep 22, 2026; 38 state a travel percentage. Home-based medical sales work can still involve 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.

The second-largest group of beginner roles on this board, and the one where the usual advice is wrong: most people come in from inside the hospital rather than from an associate program. About one in seven cath lab roles here asks for a year of experience or less — a smaller share than the operating room, and made up differently. Employers hire cardiovascular technologists, EP techs and cath lab nurses across into industry regularly, because the coverage is technical enough that clinical fluency is worth more than selling experience. If you are coming from outside healthcare this is a harder room to enter than the operating room, and it is more honest to say so. The realistic route is an associate or clinical specialist post at a large employer, then across. If you are already in the lab, it is the easiest move in this industry and the titles to search are Clinical Specialist and Associate Clinical Specialist rather than anything with "sales" in it. Expect call. The lab does not keep office hours, and neither does the rep covering it. 126 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.
