Cardiologist Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a cardiologist in California?

Becoming a cardiologist in California requires completing medical school, an internal medicine residency, and a cardiovascular disease fellowship, then obtaining a California medical license through the Medical Board of California by passing the USMLE and meeting its postgraduate training requirements. Most California hospital systems also require board certification or active candidacy through the American Board of Internal Medicine. Fellowship training at California academic programs such as those at UCSF, UCLA, or Stanford strengthens a candidate's standing considerably.

How much do cardiologists make in California?

Cardiologists in California earn a median of about $185,610 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $109,310 for the lowest 10% to over $532,070 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire cardiologists in California?

Employers hiring cardiologists in California right now include Kaiser Permanente, CommonSpirit Health, and VCA Animal Hospitals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. California's scale and mix of large integrated systems, academic medical centers, and independent multispecialty groups means openings appear across a wider range of practice settings than most other states.

Which California cities have the most cardiologist jobs?

The cities with the most cardiologist openings in California are Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Irvine. The distribution follows population density and the presence of large health systems: Los Angeles draws volume from its concentration of major academic and community hospitals, while San Francisco benefits from UCSF Health and a dense network of Bay Area health systems, and San Diego is anchored by UC San Diego Health and Scripps Health.

Are there remote cardiologist jobs in California?

Yes, but they're rare. Cardiology is a procedural and patient-facing specialty, so the vast majority of roles require an on-site presence for clinical care, imaging, and interventions. About 0% of cardiologist openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to cover cardiac telehealth consultations, utilization review, or population health management rather than direct procedural work.

How can I get hired as a cardiologist in California with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for a first attending position through California academic medical centers that recruit directly from fellowship programs, such as those affiliated with UC system campuses or Cedars-Sinai. Large integrated systems like Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health run structured new-physician onboarding tracks and hire fellowship graduates without prior attending experience. Starting in a general cardiology staff role rather than a subspecialty position broadens your options, and holding an active Medical Board of California license before your fellowship ends removes a common delay.

Where can I find and apply to cardiologist jobs in California?

You can find and apply to cardiologist jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings across health systems, academic centers, and multispecialty practices. Find roles that fit your specialty, training, and preferred location, then apply directly to each employer through the listing.
