Another Rise In Medical Sales Salary Motivates Reps to Push Through Global Crisis

Leave a comment


“Medical sales reps revealed that they ended 2019 on a high note, and despite the many uncertainties presented at the start of 2020, they’re prepared to persevere.” -Karyn Mullins, President at MedReps


ALPHARETTA, Ga. (PRWEB)

The annual salary report by MedReps (http://www.medreps.com/), a job board for medical sales representatives, found the 2019 average medical sales rep total compensation increased by $12,000 over the previous year. However, these encouraging 2020 findings risk being shadowed by uncertainties amid the COVID-19 global crisis.

The MedReps 2020 Salary Survey revealed yet again there’s high earning potential for medical sales reps, especially those in the biotech field. These representatives reported an 11% year-over-year increase with the highest total compensation of $198,282.

For the purpose of the survey, MedReps analyzed salary data by product classification, job title, company size, and other influential factors such as travel and state.

“This year’s respondents took the survey regarding their 2019 salaries just as the first COVID-19 shutdowns occurred in the U.S.,” said Karyn Mullins, President at MedReps. “Medical sales reps revealed that they ended 2019 on a high note, and despite the many uncertainties presented at the start of 2020, they’re prepared to persevere.”

Some notable findings from MedReps’ 2020 Medical Sales Salary Report include:

  • The majority of medical sales professionals believe the COVID-19 pandemic will have a negative effect on income, yet half of respondents still think they will earn more in 2020 than they did in 2019

  • Sales professionals selling Health IT and diagnostic imaging reported some of the highest total incomes

  • Those who earn commissions only (no base salary) earn more than twice the total income of those who receive a base salary only (no commissions)


“Medical sales representatives constantly face unique challenges and pressures in the field,” Mullins said. “Our goal is that they use this salary data to decide the best career moves to enhance their futures.”

Survey responses were collected from 2,411 professionals currently working in medical sales between March and April 2020. To view the full 2020 Medical Sales Salary Report, click here.

Leave a comment


Amada Senior Care of Greater Milwaukee is sponsoring kiosks with sanitizer wipes to help minimize COVID-19 risk.

Our goal is to help minimize risk so that more people are kept safe. We want to ensure the health and safety of our home care clients, caregivers and customers of CVS pharmacies.


BROOKFIELD, Wis. (PRWEB)

Committed to doing everything it can to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus, Amada Senior Care of Greater Milwaukee is placing hand sanitizer kiosks in several drugstore pharmacies for public use. The kiosk program is just the newest protocol that Amada of Greater Milwaukee, a premier non-medical provider of in-home senior care, has put into place in response to the current global pandemic.

While closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation, Amada Senior Care continues to follow the most current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. Amada caregivers are equipped with PPE (personal protective equipment) like masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer. They have received trainings and certifications on how to minimize transmission risk to clients during COVID-19. Their training on safety protocols, hygiene standards, infection control and the nature and communicability of airborne pathogens is continually updated and emphasized.

Taking the additional public service step of providing hand sanitizer kiosks is in keeping with Amada Franchise Inc.’s core commitment of enriching lives. DR Salerno, owner of Amada Senior Care of Greater Milwaukee, expects that sponsoring kiosks in several drugstore pharmacies will help residents minimize exposure to COVID-19 during this national emergency. Given many sponsorship options, Mr. Salerno decided that kiosks offer a better opportunity to support the CDC recommendation of hand washing/sanitizing as the single most important means of preventing the spread of infection.

“Our goal is to help minimize risk so that more people are kept safe,” says Mr. Salerno. “We want to ensure the health and safety of our home care clients, caregivers and customers of CVS pharmacies. We are pleased to introduce this public safety program through our partner Terraboost and do our part to help the communities we serve. Along with following industry-leading protocols for caregiver safety, we are making great strides serving seniors and other clients in this COVID-19 pandemic period and preparing for a strong recovery while maximizing everyone’s safety.”

Those who come across an Amada Senior Care kiosk will learn about how trained Amada caregivers work one-on-one with seniors, providing them personalized assistance with everyday activities and helping them manage any chronic health conditions. The Amada franchise system is a trusted partner in the senior healthcare continuum, providing critical support to overwhelmed community-based care resources. Providing exceptional in-home care is the overarching mission for the 200 franchise locations around the country because studies show that having an in-home caregiver promotes a meaningful routine, rapport, and connection, letting seniors and their family members focus on wellness.

As Amada continues to quickly respond to the rapidly changing COVID-19 environment, its foremost goal is the health and safety of seniors and families. Please consider Amada as a trusted resource and feel free to reach out with any questions about in-home caregiving, preserving the health of a beloved senior in your life, or obtaining specific assistance.

TRA Medical Imaging and Diagnostic Imaging Northwest announce a ‘SAFE’ return of patient access

Leave a comment


“The primary goal of what we are trying to accomplish is to do what’s best for the patient…which is at the core of our values.”


TACOMA, Wash. (PRWEB)

TRA Medical Imaging (“TRA”) and Diagnostic Imaging Northwest (“DINW”) announce that they are immediately implementing a phased approach to expanding access to non-urgent imaging exams with an emphasis around patient and staff safety, based on Governor Jay Inslee’s guidance for healthcare providers.

“Over the past few weeks, we’ve worked very diligently internally and with our health system partners,” said Douglas Seiler, M.D., Physician President. “The primary goal of what we are trying to accomplish is to do what’s best for the patient…which is at the core of our values. We are implementing a plan that takes into account the consequences of delays in diagnosis and creating undo harm, including patient anxiety, emotional distress and prolonged pain, while making sure we have the extra precautions in place to safely carry out this plan.”

Over the next few weeks, a concerted effort will be made to prioritize patients whose care was delayed due to the COVID-19 crisis. Following that, the schedule will expand to include the vast majority of imaging exams as long as patient and staff safety is not compromised.

TRA has been preparing for weeks to implement a strategy to discontinue the deferment of non-urgent studies and safely expand patient access to most imaging exams and procedures. The key to this strategy is the adoption of the “SAFE” principle across all locations.

TRA’s internal definition of safe simply means:

S – Social distancing requirements with flexible waiting options.

A – Applied universal masking protocol & temperature screening

F – Facility safety enhancements including physical and engineered barriers.

E – Enhanced cleaning and disinfecting.

“We have and will continue to engineer our operations with the belief that physical distancing, and other protective health measures, will be in our society for the long-term,” said Chris Coates, TRA’s Chief Executive Officer. “Over the coming weeks and months we are planning to make continued investments in these safety efforts, including adequate protective equipment stock, so our staff and patients can continue to receive outstanding care in a safe, comfortable setting.”

Dr. Andrea Trescot Joins Physician Partners of America in Florida

Leave a comment


Andrea Trescot, M.D.


TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB)

Physician Partners of America (PPOA) is pleased to announce that renowned interventional pain management specialist, speaker, and author Andrea M. Trescot, MD, ABIPP, FIPP, CIPS, has joined the company’s Orange Park, Florida, pain management practice. She began seeing patients on May 11 at the office, located at 2021 Kingsley Ave, Suite 109, Orange Park, Florida 32073.

Dr. Trescot brings vast experience and skills to PPOA. She specializes in diagnosing and treating complex pain conditions including peripheral nerve entrapment, headache and pelvic pain, and spinal disorders. Dedicated to finding the right treatment for each patient, Dr. Trescot offers vertebral augmentation, cryoneuroablation, regenerative medicine and pharmacogenetics, among many other modalities. She is also well-known for using neuromodulation to treat intractable pain, and remains chief medical officer of Stimwave, a Florida-based company that has pioneered wireless spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulators.

Board-certified in interventional pain management, critical care, anesthesiology and addictionology, Dr. Trescot’s career has spanned academia, private practice, military service, and peer education in several states. She spent 10 years at private practices throughout Florida, including the Jacksonville area. She then turned her focus to academics, becoming the pain fellowship director at the University of Florida, and then serving as director of the pain fellowship program and a professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle. After that, she spent several years practicing interventional pain management in Alaska; however, she recently returned to the Jacksonville area, which she considers home.

“I was raised in Palatka, Florida, and, despite the restrictions brought on by COVID-19, I look forward to reconnecting with the people of Orange Park and Jacksonville,” she says. “I’m also excited to join Physician Partners of America because of its recognition of pharmacogenetics and its expertise in interventional pain management techniques.”

After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology at the University of Florida with honors, she earned her medical degree at the Medical University of South Carolina. While serving in the United States Navy, and rising to the rank of lieutenant commander, she completed her postgraduate training. This included an internship and anesthesia residency at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, followed by a fellowship in pediatric anesthesia at Children’s Hospital National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

“My first rotation as an anesthesiology resident was in pain medicine, and one of my first patients was a young sailor with low back pain that turned out not to be coming from his spine. I gave him an injection and the pain was gone,” she recalls. “From that moment, I fell in love with pain management. The instant validation and gratification of relieving someone’s pain is an amazing feeling.”

Over the years, Dr. Trescot has become a sought-after lecturer, both nationally and internationally, on interventional pain management topics. She is widely published, authoring more than 150 peer-reviewed articles and textbook chapters, and is the editor and senior author of the 900-page textbook, Peripheral Nerve Entrapments – Clinical Diagnosis and Management. She co-authored PainWise – A Patient’s Guide to Pain Management and served as co-editor of the three-volume pain review textbook, Pain Medicine and Interventional Pain Management – A Comprehensive Review. She currently serves as editor-in-chief of the professional journal, Pain and Therapy.

Dr. Trescot is a lifetime member of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians and the Florida Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. She is also a member of the Alaska Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, the World Institute of Pain, the North American Neuromodulation Society and the International Neuromodulation Society. She is a member of the scientific advisory council for the Global Pain Initiative, and a member of the U.S. Health and Human Services Pain Task Force. She has received numerous awards throughout her life, some of which include the Excellence in Physical Diagnosis Award from the Medical University of South Carolina, the U..S Navy Achievement medal, the Outstanding Service Award and Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, and the Distinguished Physician Award from the Florida Medical Association.

She is the founder and director of Project Pain Relief, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness of pain education in the developing world and training physicians in sustainable pain management techniques.
