Yes, but they're rare. Neurology is a hands-on clinical specialty that requires in-person examination, procedures, and hospital coverage for most roles, so fully remote positions make up a small share of the market. About 8% of neurologist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are mostly limited to telehealth neurology consultations and remote stroke coverage contracts.
How can I get hired as a neurologist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a neurology residency at a Pennsylvania training program, which counts as your foundational clinical experience and positions you directly for attending roles. UPMC, Penn Medicine, and Penn State Health all run accredited residency programs that feed into their own faculty and staff hiring pipelines. Physicians transitioning from internal medicine or psychiatry can also move laterally into neurology-adjacent roles while pursuing added qualifications. Having your Pennsylvania medical license active before you begin interviewing gives you a clear edge over out-of-state candidates still in the credentialing queue.
