Neonatologist Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a neonatologist in Georgia?
To practice as a neonatologist in Georgia, you must hold an active medical license issued by the Georgia Composite Medical Board, which requires completing medical school, residency in pediatrics, and a three-year neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship accredited by the ACGME. After fellowship, most Georgia hospitals require board certification in neonatal-perinatal medicine through the American Board of Pediatrics before granting full clinical privileges.
How much do neonatologists make in Georgia?
Neonatologists in Georgia earn a median of about $149,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $87,480 for the lowest 10% to over $254,560 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire neonatologists in Georgia?
Employers hiring neonatologists in Georgia right now include Pediatrix Medical, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and St. Joseph's/Candler, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's large academic medical systems and children's hospital networks drive consistent demand, particularly for attendings who can cover busy level III and IV NICUs across multiple campuses.
Which Georgia cities have the most neonatologist jobs?
Atlanta, Savannah, and Macon have the most neonatologist openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates because of its concentration of major academic medical centers, children's hospitals, and multi-campus health systems, while Augusta's activity is driven largely by Augusta University Health and its role as a regional referral center for the Central Savannah River area.
Are there remote neonatologist jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Neonatology is a hands-on bedside specialty that requires physical presence in the NICU and delivery room, so nearly all positions are fully on-site. About 0% of neonatologist openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles are almost exclusively in teleneonatology consultation or administrative and medical-director positions.
How can I get hired as a neonatologist in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing your neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship and applying directly to Georgia's academic health systems, which routinely bring on new attendings at the fellow-to-faculty transition. Emory Healthcare and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, for example, regularly recruit from fellowship programs and offer structured onboarding for first-year attendings. Lateral entry from a pediatric hospitalist or pediatric intensivist role can also open doors, especially at community hospitals adding NICU capacity. Securing Georgia Composite Medical Board licensure early and obtaining NRP certification before your fellowship ends gives your application a clear edge.
Where can I find and apply to neonatologist jobs in Georgia?
