Physician Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physician in Pennsylvania?

To practice medicine in Pennsylvania, you must hold a license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine or the Pennsylvania State Board of Osteopathic Medicine, depending on your degree. The path requires graduating from an accredited MD or DO program, completing a supervised residency, passing the USMLE or COMLEX licensure exams, and submitting a licensure application to the appropriate Pennsylvania board before seeing patients independently.

Which companies hire physicians in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring physicians in Pennsylvania right now include Geisinger, TeamHealth, and Lehigh Valley Health Network, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of academic medical centers, large regional health systems, and federally qualified health centers means physician demand is distributed well beyond the Philadelphia metro alone.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most physician jobs?

Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre, and Pittsburgh hold the most physician openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its dense cluster of academic medical centers and health systems, while Pittsburgh reflects UPMC's scale as one of the country's largest integrated delivery networks, and smaller metros like Allentown see steady demand from regional health systems serving surrounding rural communities.

Are there remote physician jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. About 16% of physician openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most clinical roles. The physician positions most likely to include remote or hybrid components are telehealth, utilization review, case management consultation, and administrative medical director roles that do not require direct patient contact.

How can I get hired as a physician in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?

The most realistic path is applying directly to residency-affiliated or early-career hospitalist programs at Pennsylvania's large teaching systems, particularly UPMC, Penn Medicine, and Jefferson Health, which regularly hire physicians coming out of residency. New graduates should target positions explicitly listed as PGY-completion or first-year attending roles, and ensure their Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine license application is filed early, as board certification eligibility alone can qualify candidates for many entry-level staff positions.

Where can I find and apply to physician jobs in Pennsylvania?

You can find and apply to physician jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, find a position that fits your specialty and preferred location, and apply directly to the employer through the listing.
