Job Requirements Teach medicine. Practice medicine. Lead what comes next.
Some physicians make an impact one patient at a time. Others have the opportunity to multiply that impact by helping develop the physicians who will care for thousands more. University of Maryland Capital Region Health is seeking an enthusiastic Family Medicine Physician to join our Family Medicine Residency Program as a Faculty Physician in Largo, Maryland.
This is an opportunity for a physician who loves the full scope of Family Medicine but also gets excited about teaching, mentoring, asking great questions, sharing what they’ve learned, and watching residents grow from learners into confident, independent physicians. And for those who aspire to take their career in academic medicine even further, this role offers something more: the opportunity to grow into future leadership within Graduate Medical Education.
Here, you won't have to choose between being a physician, educator, mentor, and leader. You can be all four. Our residents are learning how to care for patients—not just diagnoses.
As a Faculty Physician, you’ll teach residents how to deliver compassionate, high-quality, patient-centered care while demonstrating the professionalism, curiosity, collaboration, and lifelong learning that define an exceptional Family Medicine physician. You’ll work alongside residents in both ambulatory and inpatient settings, helping them build the clinical judgment and confidence they need to practice independently.
And one of the best parts? You’ll get to watch them grow. From coaching through challenging cases to celebrating those moments when everything finally “clicks,” your influence will extend far beyond the walls of the clinic.
A Little Teaching. A Little Mentoring. A Lot of Impact.
Your role will include: Teaching & Precepting: Supervise and teach Family Medicine residents in inpatient and ambulatory settings. Mentorship: Serve as a trusted mentor and advisor as residents navigate their clinical and professional development. Didactics: Develop lectures and participate in conferences, clinical discussions, rounds, journal clubs, peer reviews, and other learning opportunities.
Feedback That Matters: Provide formal and informal resident evaluations with thoughtful, actionable feedback. Curriculum Development: Help develop, implement, assess, and continually improve the residency curriculum. Resident Recruitment: Participate in interviewing and selecting future residents for the program.
Scholarly Activity: Collaborate with residents on scholarly activities while modeling curiosity and lifelong learning. Clinical Competency: Participate as a member of the Clinical Competency Committee. Program Development: Partner with the Program Director, Chief Residents, GME leadership, and fellow faculty to advance program goals and initiatives.
Faculty Development: Continue growing your own skills as a clinician and medical educator. Organizational Leadership: Participate in hospital committees and Graduate Medical Education meetings as appropriate. Your Academic Career Can Grow Here, Too.
You’ll spend plenty of time helping residents think about where their careers can go. We want you thinking about yours, too. For physicians interested in building a long-term career in academic medicine, this faculty position provides opportunities to expand your influence beyond clinical care and teaching.
As you grow within the program and institution, there may be opportunities to pursue increasing levels of responsibility and leadership within Graduate Medical Education, including pathways such as: Core Faculty Associate Program Director Additional GME and institutional leadership opportunities Expanded involvement in curriculum, faculty development, quality improvement, scholarly activity, and program initiatives Whether your goal is to become an exceptional physician educator or eventually take on greater leadership within GME, we want this to be a place where you can build the next chapter of your academic career while helping others begin theirs.
And Yes—You’ll Still Practice Medicine. We believe great educators remain connected to the work they teach. In addition to your faculty responsibilities, you’ll continue caring for your own patients and maintaining an active clinical practice.
Your clinical responsibilities will include: Dedicated independent patient-care time of at least one half-day per week without residents or students, consistent with ACGME Family Medicine faculty requirements Precepting Family Medicine residents for up to five half-day sessions per week within the Family Medicine practice site Approximately 20% inpatient service coverage Providing safe, high-quality, cost-effective, patient-centered Family Medicine care Working collaboratively with physicians, APPs, nurses, residents, students, and other members of the healthcare team Participating in the shared clinical and academic responsibilities of the program, which may occasionally include night and weekend coverage As with many academic faculty positions, responsibilities may vary based on the needs of the residency program, clinical service, learners, and patients.
It’s the balance of practicing today while preparing physicians for tomorrow. Help Build More Than Clinical Skills Medicine requires knowledge. Great physicians need more.
You’ll help residents learn how to: Think critically. Communicate clearly. Work across teams.
Lead with compassion. Learn from feedback. Stay curious.
And care for the whole person. You’ll model professionalism and guide residents in effectively working with healthcare teams, patients, families, and the communities they serve. You’ll also help develop and periodically review rotation-specific goals and objectives, program aims, policies, elective rotations, and other components that keep the residency moving forward.
Who We're Looking For We're looking for someone who sees teaching as more than an additional responsibility. You genuinely enjoy it. You’re energized by helping physicians develop their confidence and clinical judgment.
You value collaboration and continuous improvement, and you're ready to contribute your ideas to a growing academic environment. Maybe you already have experience in academic medicine. Maybe you've spent years practicing Family Medicine and have realized that teaching, mentoring, and developing other physicians is where you want to make your next big impact.
Either way, we'd love to hear from you.

Because your career can have two legacies at once: The patients whose lives you personally impact—and the physicians who become better doctors because you helped teach them. As part of the University of Maryland Medical System, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to an environment centered on clinical excellence, education, collaboration, leadership development, and serving the diverse communities of Prince George's County and the surrounding region.
And your impact doesn't have to stop at the faculty level. For physicians who want to continue growing in academic medicine, this position offers the opportunity to develop as an educator, expand your influence, and pursue future GME leadership opportunities within the program and institution. Whether you're an experienced faculty physician or an accomplished Family Medicine physician ready to make teaching a bigger part of your career, this is an opportunity to bring your clinical knowledge, ideas, and enthusiasm to the next generation.
Ready to Teach What Can't Be Learned From a Textbook? Clinical knowledge matters. But so do judgment, empathy, communication, resilience, curiosity, and knowing how to care for the person behind the diagnosis.
Those are the things great physicians learn from other great physicians. Come practice. Come teach.
Come mentor. Come grow. Help us shape the next generation of Family Medicine physicians—and maybe the future of Graduate Medical Education leadership—at UM Capital Region Health.
