Orthopedic Surgeon Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an orthopedic surgeon in Illinois?
To practice as an orthopedic surgeon in Illinois, you must hold an active physician and surgeon license issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which requires completing medical school, an accredited orthopedic surgery residency, and passing the USMLE or COMLEX series. Most Illinois health systems also require board certification through the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. Fellowship training in a sub-specialty strengthens candidacy at competitive academic centers.
How much do orthopedic surgeons make in Illinois?
Orthopedic surgeons in Illinois earn a median of about $426,580 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $115,310 for the lowest 10% to over $797,060 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire orthopedic surgeons in Illinois?
Employers hiring orthopedic surgeons in Illinois right now include Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, OSF HealthCare, and Prime Healthcare Foundation-Southern Regional, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Illinois's concentration of large academic medical systems and regional health networks means openings appear consistently across both urban teaching hospitals and community-based practices.
Which Illinois cities have the most orthopedic surgeon jobs?
The cities with the most orthopedic surgeon openings in Illinois are Chicago, Joliet, and Peoria. Chicago dominates due to its density of academic medical centers and multi-specialty systems, while Peoria and Springfield generate steady demand from regional health networks like OSF HealthCare and HSHS Medical Group that serve large non-urban patient populations across central and downstate Illinois.
Are there remote orthopedic surgeon jobs in Illinois?
Yes, but they're rare. Orthopedic surgery is a hands-on surgical specialty that requires in-person patient care, so fully remote positions are the exception rather than the rule. About 0% of orthopedic surgeon openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles are almost exclusively in telehealth consultation, utilization review, or independent medical examination rather than direct surgical practice.
How can I get hired as an orthopedic surgeon in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a residency or fellowship that includes a clinical rotation at an Illinois health system, which often converts directly into an attending offer. Large Illinois employers such as Northwestern Medicine, Rush University Medical Center, and the University of Illinois Health run structured new-physician onboarding programs and regularly hire graduating residents and fellows. Candidates without prior attending experience should target community hospitals and multi-specialty groups in downstate Illinois, where competition is lower, and ensure board eligibility is current before applying.
Where can I find and apply to orthopedic surgeon jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to orthopedic surgeon jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings from health systems, specialty practices, and surgical groups across the state. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience and apply directly to the employers posting them.
