As of Nov 6, 2026, there are 58 live entry-level cath lab sales postings. Median advertised annual base: $90,000 (n=43), versus $130,000 nationally.
The cath lab hires beginners too, and it is the room where the usual advice is wrong: most people come in from inside the hospital rather than from an associate program. The beginners it takes are a different group from the operating room’s. 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. 58 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.

The median advertised annual base is $90,000, calculated from 43 qualifying postings as of Nov 6, 2026. This uses each published range's midpoint and excludes hourly rates and on-target earnings.

The largest matching employer counts as of Nov 6, 2026 are Abbott (21), Boston Scientific (10), BIOTRONIK (8). 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.
1 of 58 matching postings are flagged remote as of Nov 6, 2026, meaning worked from home with no field territory; 31 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.
