Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Physician Jobs at Northwell Health Jobs
Verify your medical credentials match state requirements
New York requires ECFMG certification for international medical graduates before licensure. Confirm your credentials are verified and your USMLE steps are complete before applying, since Northwell's credentialing team will review these before extending an offer.
Target specialty-specific openings within Northwell's network
Northwell operates dozens of hospitals and ambulatory sites across New York. Filter your search by specialty and facility type, since community and regional sites often have longer-term vacancies and may move faster through the sponsorship approval process.
Clarify TN eligibility if you hold Canadian or Mexican citizenship
Physicians can qualify for TN status if they hold a valid medical license and a job offer in a qualifying clinical role. TN processing typically moves faster than H-1B, and Northwell sponsors it, so flag your citizenship early in conversations with their recruiter.
Ask about PERM timing before signing your offer letter
For EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card sponsorship, PERM labor certification involves DOL-required recruitment steps and can take over a year before USCIS even receives the petition. Clarify whether Northwell initiates PERM at hire or after a qualifying employment period.
Use Migrate Mate to identify which Northwell physician roles are actively open
Physician openings at large health systems get filled and reposted frequently. Search Migrate Mate to filter Northwell Health roles by visa type so you're applying to positions where sponsorship is already confirmed, not assumed.

Find Physician at Northwell Health JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Northwell Health sponsor H-1B visas for Physicians?
Yes, Northwell Health sponsors H-1B visas for Physician roles. As a large nonprofit health system, Northwell qualifies as a cap-exempt employer through its affiliation with academic and nonprofit research institutions, which means H-1B petitions can be filed year-round without waiting for the annual lottery. This is a meaningful advantage for international physicians who missed the cap or need to start sooner.
Which visa types does Northwell Health commonly use for Physician roles?
Northwell sponsors H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for Physician positions. H-1B is the most common route for international medical graduates. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican physicians with a valid license. Green Card sponsorship through PERM is typically offered after an initial period of employment.
What qualifications does Northwell Health expect for Physician roles?
Northwell expects candidates to hold an MD or DO degree, ECFMG certification if they graduated from a foreign medical school, and board certification or active pursuit of it in their specialty. A valid New York State medical license or eligibility for one is required before starting. Fellowship training is expected for many subspecialty roles across Northwell's academic-affiliated sites.
How do I apply for Physician jobs at Northwell Health?
You can browse open Physician roles at Northwell Health on Migrate Mate, which filters positions by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm sponsorship availability before applying. Once you identify a role, applications go through Northwell's careers portal. Engaging their physician recruiter directly early in the process helps clarify sponsorship timelines and credentialing requirements specific to the position.
How do I plan around the H-1B filing timeline when targeting a Northwell Physician role?
Because Northwell is cap-exempt, you're not limited to the April 1 filing window that applies to most H-1B employers. USCIS can receive your petition at any point in the year, and premium processing is available to get a decision within a few business days. Build in time for credentialing and state licensure verification, which often takes longer than the USCIS adjudication itself.
