How do I get an entry level attending physician job?
Start by completing your residency and obtaining board certification in your specialty, as these are the baseline credentials most employers require at this stage. Highlight clinical rotations, fellowship training, and any hands-on patient care experience in your application. Letters of recommendation from residency supervisors carry significant weight, and demonstrating a subspecialty interest or procedural skill set can help you stand out among other new graduates.

Companies hiring entry level attending physicians right now include Virginia Commonwealth University, Cook County Health, and Genesis Medical Health, PC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from health systems, regional hospital networks, multispecialty group practices, and federally qualified health centers that build their physician workforce by recruiting directly from residency programs.
Are there remote entry level attending physician jobs?
Yes, though most attending physician roles require in-person patient care. About 0% of entry level attending physician openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these positions are typically concentrated in telehealth, utilization review, or concurrent review roles where clinical judgment is applied without direct bedside responsibilities.
