Rheumatologist Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a rheumatologist in Missouri?
To practice as a rheumatologist in Missouri, you must earn a medical degree, complete an internal medicine residency, and finish a rheumatology fellowship accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. You then apply for a Missouri medical license through the Missouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts and obtain board certification in rheumatology through the American Board of Internal Medicine. Most Missouri employers also require a current DEA registration before you begin seeing patients.
How much do rheumatologists make in Missouri?
Rheumatologists in Missouri earn a median of about $227,980 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,070 for the lowest 10% to over $435,150 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire rheumatologists in Missouri?
Companies currently hiring rheumatologists in Missouri include SSM Health, The University of Kansas Health System, and Citizens Memorial Healthcare, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Missouri's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers tend to drive the most consistent rheumatology openings, particularly in St. Louis and Kansas City.
Which Missouri cities have the most rheumatologist jobs?
Kansas City, St. Louis, and Bolivar are the Missouri cities with the most rheumatologist openings, reflecting the concentration of major academic medical centers and integrated health systems in the St. Louis and Kansas City metros, while Columbia's openings are largely driven by University of Missouri Health Care and the surrounding regional referral network.
Are there remote rheumatologist jobs in Missouri?
Yes, but they're rare. Rheumatology is a hands-on clinical specialty that depends on physical examination, joint injections, and in-person imaging review, which limits full remote work. About 0% of rheumatologist openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to involve telehealth follow-up visits, prior authorization review, or clinical education rather than primary patient care.
How can I get hired as a rheumatologist in Missouri with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly from fellowship into a new-graduate or first-year attending role, which large Missouri systems including BJC HealthCare and University of Missouri Health Care routinely fill through structured onboarding programs designed for physicians without post-training practice history. Hospitalist or general internal medicine positions at Missouri academic centers can also serve as a bridge while you build subspecialty volume. A Missouri medical license in hand and documented fellowship procedural competency, particularly in musculoskeletal ultrasound, give early-career candidates a clear edge in competitive markets like St. Louis.
Where can I find and apply to rheumatologist jobs in Missouri?
You can find and apply to rheumatologist jobs in Missouri on Migrate Mate, which lists current Missouri openings from employers across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your subspecialty, preferred city, and practice setting, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
