Hospitalist Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a hospitalist in Pennsylvania?
You become a hospitalist in Pennsylvania by completing a medical degree followed by an ACGME-accredited residency in internal medicine, family medicine, or a related specialty, then obtaining a Pennsylvania medical license through the State Board of Medicine. Most Pennsylvania employers also require board certification or active board candidacy. Some positions additionally require a Drug Enforcement Administration registration and a Pennsylvania controlled substance license before your start date.
How much do hospitalists make in Pennsylvania?
Hospitalists in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $217,310 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,850 for the lowest 10% to over $423,340 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire hospitalists in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring hospitalists in Pennsylvania right now include Penn State Health, WellSpan Health, and Penn Medicine, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health networks and academic medical systems drive much of the ongoing demand, with community hospital programs in smaller cities filling positions throughout the year as well.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most hospitalist jobs?
Philadelphia, Hershey, and Pittsburgh are the Pennsylvania cities with the most hospitalist openings, reflecting the concentration of major academic medical centers and large regional health systems in those markets. Philadelphia leads because of its dense cluster of teaching hospitals and large health networks, while Pittsburgh's UPMC footprint and Allentown's growing Lehigh Valley Health Network account for strong activity outside the southeastern corridor.
Are there remote hospitalist jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Hospitalist work is fundamentally bedside and inpatient, so the overwhelming majority of positions require on-site presence in a hospital or post-acute facility. About 5% of hospitalist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be telemedicine nocturnist or administrative medical director roles rather than core inpatient attending positions.
How can I get hired as a hospitalist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing your residency at a Pennsylvania program and transitioning directly into a hospitalist role within that same health system. Penn Medicine, UPMC, and Lehigh Valley Health Network all recruit residents and recent graduates into structured new-physician onboarding tracks. Physicians with inpatient experience in adjacent roles such as resident moonlighting, locum tenens coverage, or internal medicine teaching positions build directly transferable credentials and frequently receive preference in Pennsylvania community hospital hiring.
Where can I find and apply to hospitalist jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to hospitalist jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your specialty, credentials, and preferred location, and apply directly to each position without leaving the platform.
