Neonatologist Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a neonatologist in Pennsylvania?
To practice as a neonatologist in Pennsylvania, you must hold an active license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine, which requires completing medical school, a pediatrics residency, and a neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. After fellowship, most Pennsylvania employers also require board certification in neonatal-perinatal medicine through the American Board of Pediatrics before granting full clinical privileges.
How much do neonatologists make in Pennsylvania?
Neonatologists in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $226,440 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $135,370 for the lowest 10% to over $356,540 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire neonatologists in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring neonatologists in Pennsylvania right now include Penn State Health, Geisinger, and Tower Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of academic medical centers and freestanding children's hospitals means many openings carry teaching and research expectations alongside direct NICU patient care.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most neonatologist jobs?
Reading, Danville, and Philadelphia account for the largest share of neonatologist openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its dense cluster of academic health systems and freestanding children's hospitals, Pittsburgh's strength comes from UPMC's regional reach, and Hershey draws volume through Penn State Health's academic medical center, which serves as a referral hub for the central Pennsylvania region.
How can I get hired as a neonatologist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic path for candidates without attending experience is applying directly to first-year attending positions at Pennsylvania academic centers such as Children's Hospital of Philadelphia or UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, which regularly recruit fellowship graduates into structured onboarding programs. Pediatric hospitalist or general pediatrics roles at community hospitals affiliated with larger Pennsylvania systems can also serve as a lateral entry point while you build NICU experience. Completing your ABP neonatal-perinatal medicine board certification and obtaining Pennsylvania medical licensure before applying gives your candidacy a clear edge.
