Internist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an internist in Florida?
To practice as an internist in Florida, you must hold an active medical license issued by the Florida Board of Medicine, which requires a medical degree, successful completion of an ACGME-accredited internal medicine residency, and passage of the USMLE or COMLEX licensing exams. Most Florida employers also expect board certification through the American Board of Internal Medicine, along with a DEA registration and current ACLS certification for any hospital-based role.
How much do internists make in Florida?
Internists 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 internists in Florida?
Employers hiring internists in Florida right now include BluePearl Pet Hospital, PetVet Care Centers, and Allied Veterinary Specialists, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large integrated health systems and multispecialty groups tend to post the most volume, particularly in major metropolitan areas where patient panels and hospital affiliations drive consistent demand.
Which Florida cities have the most internist jobs?
Tampa, Brandon, and Jupiter have the highest concentration of internist openings in Florida. Miami leads because of its large academic medical centers and dense population of older adults, while Tampa and Orlando's rapid population growth has pushed major hospital systems to expand their internal medicine staffing to keep pace with inpatient and outpatient demand.
Are there remote internist jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Internist work is fundamentally hands-on and patient-facing, so most positions require an in-person presence. About 0% of internist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles are almost exclusively in telemedicine-specific practices or utilization management, rather than traditional clinical medicine.
How can I get hired as an internist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a Florida-based internal medicine residency, as programs at institutions such as Jackson Health System, Tampa General Hospital, and the University of Florida Health place new physicians directly into attending or hospitalist roles upon graduation. Candidates without a completed residency can target preliminary internal medicine positions or transitional year programs at Florida teaching hospitals. Holding an active Florida Board of Medicine license and ACLS certification gives applicants a concrete edge before the first attending interview.
Where can I find and apply to internist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to internist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across hospital systems, multispecialty groups, and outpatient practices. Search the listings, identify roles that match your specialty focus and preferred location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
