Gastroenterologist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a gastroenterologist in Florida?
To practice as a gastroenterologist in Florida you must hold an active license issued by the Florida Board of Medicine, which requires graduation from an accredited medical school, completion of an accredited internal medicine residency, and completion of a gastroenterology fellowship. After fellowship, most Florida employers also expect board certification or active board eligibility through the American Board of Internal Medicine. Florida does not offer a separate GI-specific state credential beyond the standard physician license.
How much do gastroenterologists make in Florida?
Gastroenterologists in Florida earn a median of about $222,600 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $85,220 for the lowest 10% to over $575,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire gastroenterologists in Florida?
Employers hiring gastroenterologists in Florida right now include Gastro Health, BayCare Health System, and Florida Digestive Health Specialists LLP, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large multi-hospital systems and growing network of independent GI group practices both maintain steady pipelines for attending and fellow-trained gastroenterologists across the state.
Which Florida cities have the most gastroenterologist jobs?
The Florida cities with the most gastroenterologist openings are Tampa, Miami, and Pensacola. Miami's density of academic medical centers and private GI practices drives the majority of positions, while Tampa and Orlando reflect the scale of large regional hospital systems such as AdventHealth and HCA Florida Healthcare, which anchor substantial GI divisions throughout those metros.
Are there remote gastroenterologist jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they are rare. Gastroenterology is a procedural specialty requiring hands-on endoscopy, so the vast majority of roles are fully on-site. About 0% of gastroenterologist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve telemedicine consultations, follow-up care, or administrative and medical-directorship functions rather than procedural work.
How can I get hired as a gastroenterologist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing your gastroenterology fellowship at a Florida program, such as those affiliated with the University of Florida Health, University of Miami Health System, or Tampa General Hospital, and converting that training relationship into a first attending role. Large Florida hospital systems regularly hire new fellows directly into employed physician positions, and advanced endoscopy fellowship or hepatology training adds a credential that makes new graduates more competitive in the Florida market.
Where can I find and apply to gastroenterologist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to gastroenterologist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings from hospital systems, academic centers, and private GI practices across the state. Find the roles that fit your training and practice interests and apply directly.
