Neurologist Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a neurologist in Washington?
You become a neurologist in Washington by completing medical school, a neurology residency, and then obtaining a Washington state medical license through the Washington Medical Commission, which requires passing USMLE Steps one, two, and three. Many neurologists also complete a subspecialty fellowship before entering the job market. Washington employers expect board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology before or shortly after hire.
How much do neurologists make in Washington?
Neurologists in Washington earn a median of about $327,140 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $93,440 for the lowest 10% to over $406,450 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire neurologists in Washington?
Employers hiring neurologists in Washington right now include Dane Street, University Of Washington, and PeaceHealth, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's concentration of large integrated health systems and academic medical centers means most openings come with robust support staff, research opportunities, and established neurology departments.
Which Washington cities have the most neurologist jobs?
Seattle, Tacoma, and Renton have the most neurologist openings in Washington. Seattle dominates because of its density of academic medical centers and specialty practices, while Spokane and other regional hubs draw demand from large health systems serving eastern Washington and rural catchment areas where specialist access is limited.
Are there remote neurologist jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. About 20% of neurologist openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on clinical nature of most neurology roles. The portion of the work most suited to remote delivery is tele-neurology, where physicians conduct follow-up consultations, review imaging, and manage chronic conditions for patients in underserved or rural Washington communities.
How can I get hired as a neurologist in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a residency or fellowship position at a Washington academic medical center such as UW Medicine or MultiCare, which run structured programs for physicians building their clinical record. Newly licensed physicians should also look at locum tenens placements with Washington health systems serving rural eastern Washington, where competition is lower and employers are more open to candidates early in their careers. Board eligibility and a Washington Medical Commission license in hand before applying significantly improves your standing.
Where can I find and apply to neurologist jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to neurologist jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings across health systems, specialty practices, and academic institutions. Find the roles that fit your subspecialty and experience level and apply directly from each listing.
