Nephrologist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nephrologist in Texas?

After fellowship, most Texas employers expect board certification or active candidacy through the American Board of Internal Medicine. A DEA registration is also required for any prescribing role across the state.
How much do nephrologists make in Texas?
Nephrologists in Texas earn a median of about $269,800 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,600 for the lowest 10% to over $457,450 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nephrologists in Texas?
Employers hiring nephrologists in Texas right now include Houston Methodist, Baylor Scott & White Health, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's density of large integrated health systems, independent nephrology groups, and national dialysis chains like DaVita and Fresenius Kidney Care makes it one of the more varied hiring markets for the specialty.
Which Texas cities have the most nephrologist jobs?
Houston, Lubbock, and Temple have the most nephrologist openings in Texas. Houston leads because of the Texas Medical Center's concentration of transplant programs and academic health systems, Dallas-Fort Worth draws volume from UT Southwestern and a dense network of outpatient practices, and San Antonio benefits from its large military and VA healthcare infrastructure alongside several regional hospital systems.
Are there remote nephrologist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of nephrologist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how hands-on the specialty is for in-clinic dialysis management and patient procedures. The roles most likely to carry a remote or hybrid component are telenephrology consultations and chronic kidney disease management positions with established outpatient groups.
How can I get hired as a nephrologist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic path for a newly fellowship-trained nephrologist in Texas is applying directly to academic training programs or large health systems that onboard early-career physicians, such as those affiliated with UT Southwestern, UTHealth Houston, or Baylor Scott and White. These institutions offer structured onboarding and mentorship for physicians without independent practice history. Securing your Texas Medical Board license and ABIM eligibility before applying, and targeting locum tenens roles with Texas nephrology groups, also helps build a practice record quickly.
Where can I find and apply to nephrologist jobs in Texas?
