Physician Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physician in Washington?

Physicians in Washington must hold an active license issued by the Washington Medical Commission. The path requires completing a medical degree from an accredited MD or DO program, finishing an accredited residency, and passing the USMLE or COMLEX licensing examinations. Applicants apply directly to the Washington Medical Commission and must also obtain a state controlled substance registration and a DEA registration before practicing independently.

Which companies hire physicians in Washington?

Washington physician roles are posted by MultiCare Health System, Provider Solutions & Development, and US Department of Veterans Affairs and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's large integrated health systems, federally qualified health centers, and academic medical programs are among the most consistent sources of physician openings in the state.

Which Washington cities have the most physician jobs?

Seattle, Tacoma, and Spokane have the most physician openings in Washington. Seattle leads because of the dense concentration of academic medical centers and large health systems headquartered there, while Spokane and Tacoma generate consistent demand as regional hubs serving both urban populations and surrounding rural communities through their own hospital networks and clinics.

Are there remote physician jobs in Washington?

Yes, but they're rare. About 13% of physician openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how hands-on the work is for most clinical roles. Telemedicine positions in psychiatry, primary care, and chronic disease management are the most consistently remote, and several Washington health systems have expanded virtual care programs that support those arrangements.

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

The most realistic path for early-career physicians is applying to residency or fellowship programs affiliated with Washington institutions such as UW Medicine or Providence, which train physicians across multiple specialties and frequently convert graduates to attending positions. New physicians can also pursue locum tenens roles through rural health clinics or critical access hospitals across eastern Washington, which often have less competition than major metro positions. Holding an active Washington Medical Commission license and board eligibility gives candidates a clear edge in those settings.

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

Migrate Mate lists current physician openings across Washington, covering roles in major metros and smaller communities throughout the state. Find the positions that match your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the employers posting them.
