Medical Doctor Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical doctor in California?
To practice as a medical doctor in California, you must obtain a physician and surgeon license from the Medical Board of California after completing medical school, graduating from an accredited residency program, and passing all three steps of the USMLE or the COMLEX for osteopathic physicians. The Medical Board of California issues the license, and many hospitals also require board certification in your specialty before granting clinical privileges.
Which companies hire medical doctors in California?
Employers hiring medical doctors in California right now include Sutter Health, Skilled Wound Care, and Kaiser Permanente, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. California's size and density of health systems means openings appear continuously across large integrated networks, county health systems, and academic medical centers throughout the state.
Which California cities have the most medical doctor jobs?
San Diego, Sacramento, and Los Angeles have the most medical doctor openings in California. Los Angeles drives volume through its concentration of major hospital systems, academic medical centers, and county-run facilities, while San Francisco and San Diego each anchor large research and specialty care ecosystems with flagship employers like UCSF Health and UC San Diego Health drawing consistent physician demand.
Are there remote medical doctor jobs in California?
Yes, but they're rare. About 21% of medical doctor openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the hands-on, patient-facing nature of most physician roles. The positions most likely to offer remote or telehealth flexibility are in psychiatry, urgent care, and chronic disease management, where video visits are now a standard part of practice.
How can I get hired as a medical doctor in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a California-based residency or fellowship, which functions as the primary pipeline into attending roles at California health systems. Large employers such as Kaiser Permanente and the UC Health system run structured new-physician onboarding programs and actively recruit from their own residency programs. Candidates without California attending experience can strengthen their applications through a California medical license, board eligibility documentation, and experience in federally qualified health centers or county health systems, which regularly hire early-career physicians.
Where can I find and apply to medical doctor jobs in California?
You can find and apply to medical doctor jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings from employers across the state. Find roles that match your specialty and experience level, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
