Entry Level Intensivist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level intensivist job?
Start by completing a fellowship in critical care medicine, pulmonology, or a related specialty, since most hospitals require board eligibility or certification even at the entry level. Highlight clinical rotations, research, and any direct ICU experience in your application materials. Applying to community hospitals and smaller health systems alongside major academic centers widens your options at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level intensivists?
Companies hiring entry level intensivists right now include Penn State Health, Baylor Scott & White Health, and UF Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, you'll find openings at health systems, regional hospital groups, and physician staffing organizations that build their critical care teams through new fellowship graduates.
Are there remote entry level intensivist jobs?
Yes, though most critical care roles require on-site presence for direct patient management. About 0% of entry level intensivist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these positions typically involve tele-ICU coverage or remote monitoring roles where physicians support bedside teams through video and data systems.
Are these new grad intensivist jobs?
Yes, listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior intensivist roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes candidates with zero to two years of attending experience, considers fellowship training as qualifying experience, or explicitly accepts candidates who are board eligible rather than board certified at the time of hire.
Which industries hire the most entry level intensivists?
Entry Level intensivist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they operate ICUs, step-down units, and critical care programs that depend on a steady pipeline of fellowship-trained physicians entering practice for the first time.
