Which companies hire gastroenterologists in Illinois?
Employers hiring gastroenterologists in Illinois right now include OSF HealthCare, Endeavor Health, and Hospital Sisters Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 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 Peru, 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 October 2026, and those positions are typically limited to telehealth consultations, care coordination roles, or administrative and medical director functions rather than full clinical practice.

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.
