Company Overview

On behalf of the entire organization, I want to thank you for your interest in learning more about the University of Maryland Medical System. Here, physicians like you have the opportunity to do exceptional work. This is a multi-hospital system that has genuine impact throughout our State...and beyond. Our eight outstanding hospitals and numerous ambulatory centers not only offer you a choice of locations, from urban to suburban and rural, but also a choice of practice settings, including academic, teaching, and community.

Company History

Since our inception as a private, not-for-profit corporation in 1984, we have pursued a clinical vision of providing measurably safe and quality care to the citizens of the State and region. Our goal is, and always has been, that every patient receives the same high standard of care, no matter where or when they make use of our services. Our focus on excellence in care quality and safety is evident in everything we do: from our application of evidence-based medicine aimed at reducing hospital-acquired infections, to continuous improvements in our operational design, facilities, and technologies. In fact, our efforts in quality improvement have allowed us to achieve mortality and unplanned readmission rates below benchmarks available from other Maryland hospitals.

Benefits

Compensation models for employed physicians may vary between member hospitals and by specialty. In addition to base salary, some incentive models based on productivity, quality, and patient satisfaction measures may be available. Compensation may be supplemented in cases where the physician takes on leadership roles (e.g., department chair, committees).
