Gastroenterologist Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a gastroenterologist in Illinois?

To practice as a gastroenterologist in Illinois, you must hold an active Illinois physician and surgeon license issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which requires completion of medical school, an accredited internal medicine residency, and a three-year gastroenterology fellowship. You must also pass the USMLE or COMLEX licensing examinations. Board certification in gastroenterology through the American Board of Internal Medicine, while not always legally required, is a standard expectation at Illinois hospitals and health systems.

How much do gastroenterologists make in Illinois?

Gastroenterologists in Illinois earn a median of about $140,680 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,940 for the lowest 10% to over $349,420 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire gastroenterologists in Illinois?

Employers hiring gastroenterologists in Illinois right now include OSF HealthCare, Hospital Sisters Health System, and SSM Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Illinois's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers drive consistent demand, particularly for physicians with procedural specialization and an interest in academic or research-affiliated practice.

Which Illinois cities have the most gastroenterologist jobs?

The Illinois cities with the most gastroenterologist openings are Galesburg, Peoria, and O'Fallon. Chicago generates the greatest volume due to the concentration of major academic medical centers, multi-hospital health systems, and outpatient specialty groups anchored in the metro, while Peoria and Springfield reflect strong regional demand from anchor institutions such as OSF HealthCare and HSHS Medical Group serving central Illinois populations.

Are there remote gastroenterologist jobs in Illinois?

Yes, but they're rare. Gastroenterology is a procedural and patient-facing specialty that requires in-person care for the vast majority of clinical work. About 0% of gastroenterologist openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are typically limited to telehealth consultations, care coordination roles, or administrative and medical director functions rather than full clinical practice.

How can I get hired as a gastroenterologist in Illinois with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is securing a first attending position immediately after completing your gastroenterology fellowship, targeting Illinois health systems that actively recruit new fellows, including Northwestern Medicine, Rush University Medical Center, and University of Illinois Health. Many Illinois academic centers offer structured onboarding tracks for early-career physicians and maintain relationships with fellowship programs in the state. Candidates without fellowship completion can pursue internal medicine hospitalist or general internal medicine roles at Illinois community hospitals as a bridge while pursuing GI training.

Where can I find and apply to gastroenterologist jobs in Illinois?

You can find and apply to gastroenterologist jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings from health systems, specialty practices, and academic medical centers across the state.
