Oncologist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a oncologist in Texas?
To practice as an oncologist in Texas, you must hold an active medical license issued by the Texas Medical Board, which requires completing medical school, residency training, and passing the relevant licensing examinations. After residency, oncologists complete a subspecialty fellowship in medical, radiation, or hematology-oncology. Board certification through the American Board of Internal Medicine or the American Board of Radiology strengthens your candidacy at Texas health systems and academic centers.
How much do oncologists make in Texas?
Oncologists in Texas earn a median of about $105,370 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $75,170 for the lowest 10% to over $259,320 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire oncologists in Texas?
Employers hiring oncologists in Texas right now include OneOncology, Baylor College of Medicine, and Houston Methodist, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas supports a large number of oncology employers including major integrated health systems, independent cancer care networks, and nationally ranked academic medical institutions that maintain active recruitment across multiple specialties.
Which Texas cities have the most oncologist jobs?
San Antonio, Houston, and Fort Worth are the Texas cities with the most oncologist openings, reflecting the concentration of major cancer centers, academic medical programs, and large integrated health systems in those metros. Houston leads significantly, anchored by institutions like MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Texas Medical Center, while Dallas and San Antonio draw volume from sprawling regional health networks and growing suburban patient populations.
Are there remote oncologist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Most oncologist roles require direct patient care, imaging interpretation, or procedure-based work that is inherently on-site. About 4% of oncologist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with remote work most common in teleoncology consultation, tumor board participation, and second-opinion services that large Texas systems have expanded in recent years.
How can I get hired as a oncologist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a fellowship at a Texas-based program and converting that training relationship into a first attending role. Large employers such as MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center, and Baylor Scott and White Health run fellowship-to-hire pipelines that place new graduates directly into staff positions. Candidates without fellowship completion can pursue hematology-oncology hospitalist roles or general internal medicine positions at Texas health systems while completing board eligibility, and board certification provides a clear edge in any early-career application.
Where can I find and apply to oncologist jobs in Texas?
