Oncologist Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a oncologist in Washington?
Becoming an oncologist in Washington requires completing medical school, a residency in internal medicine or another core specialty, and a fellowship in oncology or a subspecialty such as hematology-oncology or radiation oncology. You must then obtain an active Washington State medical license through the Washington Medical Commission, which administers licensure for physicians practicing in the state. Board certification through the American Board of Internal Medicine or a relevant specialty board is expected by most Washington employers.
How much do oncologists make in Washington?
Oncologists in Washington earn a median of about $103,380 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $52,000 for the lowest 10% to over $163,070 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire oncologists in Washington?
Employers hiring oncologists in Washington right now include MultiCare Health System, CommonSpirit Health, and Provider Solutions & Development, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's strong presence of academic health systems and nonprofit cancer centers means many openings come with research, teaching, or multidisciplinary program responsibilities alongside clinical duties.
Which Washington cities have the most oncologist jobs?
Tacoma, Seattle, and Spokane are the Washington cities with the most oncologist openings. Seattle dominates given the concentration of major academic and cancer-specific institutions headquartered there, while Spokane and Tacoma benefit from large regional health systems serving eastern Washington and the South Puget Sound, respectively, creating stable local demand outside the metro core.
Are there remote oncologist jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of oncologist openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the fundamentally hands-on nature of most oncology work. The roles most likely to have a remote or hybrid component are teleoncology consultations, tumor board reviews, second-opinion services, and clinical research coordination positions that do not require direct patient examination.
How can I get hired as a oncologist in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic path for early-career oncologists in Washington is applying directly to fellowship training programs or new-attendee positions at academic health systems such as UW Medicine or Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, which regularly bring on physicians completing their first attending role. Community oncology groups affiliated with Providence or MultiCare Health System also hire candidates fresh out of fellowship. Holding an active Washington Medical Commission license and board eligibility on day one significantly strengthens any application at this stage.
Where can I find and apply to oncologist jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to oncologist jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings from health systems, cancer centers, and community practices across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your specialty and experience level and apply directly to each one that fits.
