Medical Oncologist Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical oncologist in Pennsylvania?
To practice as a medical oncologist in Pennsylvania, you must hold an active license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine, which requires a medical degree from an accredited institution, completion of an internal medicine residency, and passage of USMLE steps. After residency, you complete an ACGME-accredited hematology-oncology fellowship, typically two to three years. Board certification through the American Board of Internal Medicine in medical oncology is expected by most Pennsylvania health systems before or shortly after hire.
How much do medical oncologists make in Pennsylvania?
Medical oncologists in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $103,150 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,570 for the lowest 10% to over $139,760 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire medical oncologists in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring medical oncologists in Pennsylvania right now include WellSpan Health, Penn State Health, and Ethos Veterinary Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of NCI-designated cancer centers and large integrated health systems means openings appear across both academic and community practice settings throughout the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most medical oncologist jobs?
The Pennsylvania cities with the most medical oncologist openings are Erie, Ephrata, and Hershey. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh account for the bulk of demand, driven by their dense clusters of major academic medical centers, comprehensive cancer programs, and affiliated community sites, while Hershey's activity reflects Penn State Health's regional draw as a major research and referral hub in central Pennsylvania.
Are there remote medical oncologist jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Medical oncology is a hands-on clinical specialty requiring direct patient examination, infusion oversight, and procedural involvement, so fully remote roles represent a small fraction of total openings. About 33% of medical oncologist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those that exist are most commonly in tumor board consultations, teleoncology follow-up visits, or second-opinion services for established patients.
How can I get hired as a medical oncologist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a fellowship and applying directly to academic or community health systems that run structured onboarding programs for new attendings. Penn Medicine, UPMC, and Penn State Health all recruit graduating fellows into first-attending roles with mentorship tracks. Candidates strengthen their position by securing Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine licensure before graduation, obtaining ABIM board certification eligibility, and gaining exposure to clinical trial coordination or multidisciplinary tumor boards during training, which aligns with the research-active culture of Pennsylvania's larger cancer centers.
Where can I find and apply to medical oncologist jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to medical oncologist jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your specialty and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
