Physician - Emergency Medicine Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician - emergency medicine in Texas?
To practice as a physician - emergency medicine in Texas, you must hold an active license issued by the Texas Medical Board, which requires completing medical school, finishing an ACGME-accredited Emergency Medicine residency, and passing the USMLE or COMLEX licensing exams. Board certification through the American Board of Emergency Medicine is expected by most Texas hospital systems and freestanding emergency departments, and a DEA registration is required before you can prescribe controlled substances in the state.
How much do physician - emergency medicines make in Texas?
Physician - emergency medicines in Texas earn a median of about $316,830 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $71,930 for the lowest 10% to over $407,430 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physician - emergency medicines in Texas?
Employers hiring physician - emergency medicines in Texas right now include CHRISTUS Health, Baylor Scott & White Health, and Baylor College of Medicine, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and the state's growing network of freestanding emergency centers make it one of the more active physician hiring markets in the South.
Which Texas cities have the most physician - emergency medicine jobs?
San Antonio, Beaumont, and Plainview have the most physician - emergency medicine openings in Texas, driven by the concentration of major hospital systems, Level I trauma centers, and high-volume freestanding emergency departments that anchor each metro's healthcare economy and generate consistent physician demand year-round.
Are there remote physician - emergency medicine jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Emergency medicine is a hands-on, bedside specialty that requires physical presence in a clinical setting, so fully remote positions are not a realistic option for most practitioners. About 4% of physician - emergency medicine openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those roles are almost exclusively in telemedicine triage or medical director administrative functions rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a physician - emergency medicine in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly out of an accredited Emergency Medicine residency, as Texas hospital systems including those affiliated with UT Health, Baylor Scott and White, and the Texas Medical Center in Houston actively recruit new graduates. Targeting new-grad or first-year attending positions at community hospitals or freestanding emergency centers is effective, and physicians coming from family medicine or internal medicine who have completed additional emergency training can also compete for associate-level roles. Having ABEM eligibility and active Texas Medical Board licensure in hand before applying gives a strong advantage.
Where can I find and apply to physician - emergency medicine jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to physician - emergency medicine jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Texas employers. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your qualifications and preferred location, and apply directly.
