Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Medical Doctor Jobs at Northwell Health Jobs
Verify your ECFMG certification before applying
Northwell Health requires ECFMG certification for international medical graduates before any clinical appointment can proceed. Get this in order before you apply so credentialing doesn't stall your start date after an offer is made.
Target fellowship and residency pipelines directly
Northwell runs its own GME programs and frequently converts residents and fellows into attending physician roles. Applying through these internal pipelines gives you a significant advantage over external candidates competing for the same sponsored positions.
Clarify visa type early in the offer conversation
Northwell sponsors both H-1B and TN visas for physician roles, but the right path depends on your nationality and specialty. Confirm which visa type the recruiter intends to file before negotiations close so USCIS petition timelines don't delay your credentialing start.
Understand how PERM timing affects your green card
For EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, Northwell must complete a PERM labor certification through DOL before filing your immigrant petition. This process typically takes 12 to 18 months, so align your H-1B cap-gap planning with these timelines to avoid gaps in status.
Search Medical Doctor roles at Northwell on Migrate Mate
Northwell posts physician openings across multiple systems, which makes it hard to track sponsored roles in one place. Use Migrate Mate to filter Medical Doctor jobs at Northwell Health by visa type so you only see roles where sponsorship is confirmed.
Prepare state licensure documents in parallel with your petition
New York State medical licensure has its own timeline and documentation requirements separate from your visa petition. Starting both processes simultaneously prevents a situation where your H-1B is approved but you can't see patients because licensure is still pending.

Find Medical Doctor at Northwell Health JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Northwell Health sponsor H-1B visas for Medical Doctors?
Yes, Northwell Health sponsors H-1B visas for Medical Doctor roles. As one of New York's largest health systems, Northwell has an established process for filing H-1B petitions for international physicians. Sponsorship is typically tied to a confirmed employment offer, and the process involves coordination between Northwell's legal team and the physician's credentialing timeline.
How do I apply for Medical Doctor jobs at Northwell Health?
You can apply directly through Northwell Health's careers portal or find sponsored Medical Doctor openings filtered by visa type on Migrate Mate. For international physicians, it's worth contacting Northwell's physician recruitment team directly after applying, since credentialing and visa timelines require early coordination that a standard application portal doesn't always capture.
Which visa types does Northwell Health commonly use for Medical Doctor roles?
Northwell Health sponsors H-1B visas for most international physician hires, which is the most common nonimmigrant visa for specialty occupation roles. For physicians pursuing permanent residence, Northwell also files EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card petitions. International medical graduates on F-1 OPT who completed a U.S. residency may also be eligible depending on timing and specialty.
What qualifications does Northwell Health expect for Medical Doctor roles?
Northwell generally requires a medical degree from an accredited institution, completion of relevant U.S. residency or fellowship training, ECFMG certification for international medical graduates, and an active or pending New York State medical license. Board certification or eligibility is typically required for attending physician roles, and subspecialty training is expected for competitive specialties like cardiology, oncology, or neurosurgery.
How do I plan the timeline for H-1B sponsorship at Northwell Health?
The H-1B cap runs on a federal fiscal year cycle, with USCIS accepting registrations in March for an October 1 start date. If you're finishing a residency or fellowship at Northwell, your J-1 or F-1 status may bridge the gap. For physicians subject to the J-1 two-year home residency requirement, a Conrad 30 waiver through New York State is a common pathway Northwell can support.
