Physician Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician in Massachusetts?
To practice as a physician in Massachusetts, you must hold an MD or DO degree, complete an accredited residency program, and obtain an active license from the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine. The Board requires passing USMLE or COMLEX scores, verification of postgraduate training, and a background review. International medical graduates must also have ECFMG certification before the Board will process an application.
Which companies hire physicians in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring physicians in Massachusetts right now include Mass General Brigham, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and ConvenientMD, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of large academic health systems and community hospital networks means physician openings appear across a wide range of practice settings, from tertiary referral centers to federally qualified health centers serving underserved communities.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most physician jobs?
Boston, Worcester, and Beverly lead Massachusetts for physician openings. Boston dominates because of its dense cluster of academic medical centers and teaching hospitals, while Worcester's volume is driven by UMass Memorial Health and the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, and Springfield draws openings from Baystate Health's regional network serving western Massachusetts communities.
Are there remote physician jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. About 23% of physician openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how few clinical roles can be performed without in-person patient contact. The positions most likely to be fully remote are in utilization review, care management, and telemedicine consultation, where direct examination is not required.
How can I get hired as a physician in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a residency or fellowship at a Massachusetts training program, which routinely converts to employed positions at the same institution. Systems like Mass General Brigham, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Boston Medical Center all run large graduate medical education programs that feed directly into their hiring pipelines. New physicians without local training can target hospitalist or urgent care roles, which carry lower specialty-experience bars, and should prioritize obtaining their Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine license and DEA registration before applying.
Where can I find and apply to physician jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to physician jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
