Part-Time Physician Assistant - Pain Medicine
Join a growing outpatient pain medicine practice as a part-time Physician Assistant independent contract. This is a no-benefits position with flexible scheduling. You may set your hours, though a mix of morning and afternoon clinic hours is preferred, such as 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM or 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. You are paid monthly via a 1099.
The role may involve rotating one day every other week in North Hollywood. You choose the day of the week you work (Monday is not recommended). If volume grows, you can increase hours.
This is a no-opioid practice with a streamlined workflow. The note is prepped for you, pain management decisions are efficient, and there is little to no disability writing. You will be paid even if patients do not show, and the pace is comfortable, though you should expect to see about one patient every 15 minutes.
Spanish bilingual skills are a plus. Weekend availability is a plus. You having your own malpractice is a plus. Experience in orthopedics, PM&R, or Pain Medicine is preferred.
Typical patient is new patient who is relatively younger and healthy. Most common diagnoses include cervical whiplash, cervical/lumbar radiculopathy, and shoulder/knee pain. You are expected to manage conservative care referrals (ie PT, chiro, massage therapy), imaging, and discuss r/b/a for epidurals, joint injections, and facet injections. MRI results will be provided to you. The supervising physician is remote and available by phone and text. You just review the HPI, put in the PE, and select from list of most common recommendations. You will not call in meds, do prior auths, schedule visits, or put in orders. There is a tremendous amount of staff to assist with non-clinical responsibilities.
This is an expansion so you are not inheriting patients. The practice is hiring due to successful growth in other markets. Less than 5 patients per day are seen now and expected growth is in approximately 6 months.
Responsibilities include evaluating patients, documenting focused exams, and using recommended clear treatment plans. This is a very tech focused practice - patients text and call to check in and you greet them. No inbox. No call. No injections to be done. Must be willing to commit with a 90 day notice of resignation. Supervising physician has clean medical license and DEA.You may work for another company/organization. You are responsible for your own licensing, DEA, CME and other legal requirements. There are various onboarding meetings over 1-2 to introduce you to the physician, the staff, and the note writing process.
Pay: $100.00 - $120.00 per hour

Tips for Your Pain Medicine Physician Job Search
Tailor your CV for interventional procedures
List every interventional technique you're trained and credentialed in, from spinal cord stimulation to radiofrequency ablation. Hiring committees review procedure volume and case mix closely, so include numbers where you have them and note fellowship training explicitly.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists pain medicine physician openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by practice setting first
Academic centers, private practices, and health system employed positions have very different call schedules, patient volumes, and administrative loads. Decide which setting fits your goals before applying so your cover letter and conversations stay focused and credible.
Get your DEA and state licenses current early
Many pain medicine positions require a Schedule II DEA registration and an active license in the hiring state before an offer can be finalized. Start any pending renewals or new state applications well before you expect to interview so credentialing delays don't stall your start date.
Prepare a case presentation for your interview
Many pain medicine programs ask you to present a complex or atypical case during on-site interviews. Choose a case that shows your diagnostic reasoning and your ability to integrate multimodal treatment, not just a procedural success. Practice explaining your decisions out loud.
Negotiate call coverage terms before signing
Call structure varies widely in pain medicine, from no overnight call in elective outpatient practices to shared acute pain or palliative coverage in hospital systems. Ask explicitly about call frequency, backup arrangements, and how after-hours responsibilities are compensated during offer discussions.
Pain Medicine Physician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most pain medicine physicians?
University Of Washington, Tenet Healthcare, and Privia Medical are hiring the most pain medicine physicians right now, with openings concentrated in Washington, California, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Health systems and large multispecialty groups account for the majority of active postings.
How many pain medicine physician jobs are remote?
About 5% of pain medicine physician openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most interventional work. Telehealth opportunities tend to be concentrated in follow-up pain management consultations, medication management, and certain palliative care roles rather than procedural positions.
How do you become a pain medicine physician?
You complete medical school, then a residency in anesthesiology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology, or psychiatry, followed by an ACGME-accredited pain medicine fellowship of at least one year. After fellowship, you sit for a subspecialty board examination to become board certified in pain medicine through the relevant ABMS member board.
How do you get hired as a pain medicine physician with limited experience?
Fellowship completion is the baseline credential, so the focus shifts to demonstrating procedural breadth and clinical reasoning rather than years in practice. Highlighting case volume from fellowship, publications or presentations, and any additional training in neuromodulation or ultrasound guidance strengthens your application. Locum tenens positions can help you build independent practice experience quickly.
What does the pain medicine physician interview process look like?
Most processes begin with a phone or video screen with a physician recruiter or department chief, followed by an on-site day that includes tours of the clinic and procedure suite, meetings with physicians, administrators, and sometimes advanced practice providers, and occasionally a case presentation or clinical scenario discussion. A second visit or offer call typically follows within a few weeks.
Where can I find and apply to pain medicine physician jobs?
You can find and apply to pain medicine physician jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your training, practice setting preferences, and location, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
