As of Oct 21, 2026, there are 57 live entry-level medical distribution sales postings. Median advertised annual base: $70,500 (n=13), versus $127,800 nationally.
57 open medical distribution sales roles across the United States, open to candidates with a year of experience or less, taken straight from employers' own careers pages and refreshed twice a day.
Distribution sales covers companies that supply hospitals, physician and dental practices, surgery centers, long-term care facilities and pharmacies with products other companies make, from medical and surgical supplies to medicines and dental products. Reps often manage a book of existing accounts, so the work can center on service, contracts and ordering as much as on introducing a product. A company that serves patients at home, with equipment, supplies or care, is filed under home medical equipment and care instead. The posting’s responsibilities, call points and location provide a more specific picture than the industry label, particularly when comparing office visits, facilities and territory travel.

The median advertised annual base is $70,500, calculated from 13 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. 56% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Oct 21, 2026 are Patterson Companies (16), Cardinal Health (15), Henry Schein (9). 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 57 matching postings are flagged remote as of Oct 21, 2026, meaning worked from home with no field territory; 19 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.
