Entry Level Nuclear Medicine Physician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level nuclear medicine physician job?
Board eligibility or board certification in nuclear medicine is the baseline most employers require, even at the entry level. Completing a fellowship or residency at a high-volume facility strengthens your candidacy significantly. Hands-on experience with PET/CT and SPECT imaging, familiarity with radiation safety protocols, and strong letters from attending physicians can all give a new graduate a meaningful edge over other applicants.
Which companies hire entry level nuclear medicine physicians?
Companies hiring entry level nuclear medicine physicians right now include Optum, Inova Health, and Henry Ford Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from academic medical centers, regional hospital systems, and outpatient imaging groups that are building out or replacing their nuclear medicine coverage.
Are there remote entry level nuclear medicine physician jobs?
Yes, though most nuclear medicine physician roles require on-site presence for patient procedures and imaging interpretation. About 5% of entry level nuclear medicine physician openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with teleradiology-style remote reads occasionally available for experienced new graduates at facilities that have the right infrastructure in place.
Are these new grad nuclear medicine physician jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior nuclear medicine physician roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes candidates with zero to two years of post-training experience, accepts applicants who are board-eligible rather than board-certified, or explicitly values fellowship and residency experience in place of independent practice history.
Which industries hire the most entry level nuclear medicine physicians?
Entry Level nuclear medicine physician roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they operate imaging departments that need consistent physician coverage and are more willing to bring on recently trained physicians to meet patient volume demands.
