In English, ambulatory is either an adjective or a place you walk in.
You can get ambulatory care at an outpatient clinic.

Note from asker:
| Hi Marlene, it can't be outpatient as in Portugal there aren't any existing outpatient clinics. Outpatient is obviously the correct literal translation for ambulatorio but not for Portugal thanks. |
| The definition of Ambulatório in Portugal is ambulatory |

field (outside) sales representatives
Hi Suzy, if DIM stands for sales reps the ambulatório could mean that they are field or outside sales reps as opposed to sales reps who work in the office - inside sales reps.

Reference:
Ambulatory
the word ambulatory means capable of walking, so any medical service where the patients receiving care are not bedridden can be considered ambulatory. (You come, receive medical treatment, such as stiches, and minor surgery, and are on your way.) No need to be admited to hospital
