Senior Physician Asst I

Advance Digestive Health Care at One of Maryland’s Leading Academic Medical Centers

Are you a Physician Assistant looking to elevate your career in a highly specialized, collaborative, and academically driven environment? Join the Gastroenterology team at University of Maryland Medical Center as a Senior Physician Assistant I and play a key role in delivering advanced, patient-centered GI care within a nationally respected health system. This is more than a traditional APP role—it’s an opportunity to work alongside leading gastroenterologists, manage complex patient populations, and contribute to innovative care delivery in a fast-paced academic medical environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work at a premier academic medical center recognized for complex specialty care
• Collaborate with nationally respected GI physicians and multidisciplinary teams
• Manage diverse and complex gastroenterology patient populations
• Practice with a high level of autonomy and clinical impact
• Opportunity to mentor, lead, and grow professionally within the APP team
• Be part of a system committed to innovation, education, and exceptional patient outcomes

What You’ll Do

• Perform comprehensive assessments and management of gastroenterology patients
• Develop treatment plans in collaboration with GI physicians and specialty teams
• Manage inpatient and/or outpatient GI patient care across the continuum
• Coordinate diagnostics, procedures, follow-up care, and patient education
• Participate in quality improvement and evidence-based clinical initiatives
• Serve as a clinical resource and mentor within the APP team

What We’re Looking For

• Certified Physician Assistant with active Maryland licensure (or eligibility)
• Prior gastroenterology, internal medicine, hospital medicine, or specialty care experience preferred
• Strong clinical judgment and ability to manage medically complex patients
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and patient education skills
• Passion for academic medicine and advancing high-quality patient care

Why Join UMMC

At University of Maryland Medical Center, you’ll join a nationally recognized academic health system where innovation, collaboration, and patient-centered care drive everything we do. Our APPs are valued clinical leaders who make a direct impact on patient outcomes while working within one of the region’s most advanced healthcare environments.

Located in the heart of Baltimore, you’ll also enjoy access to a vibrant city known for its waterfront neighborhoods, rich culture, top-rated dining scene, and easy access to Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York.

Be Part of Something Bigger

If you’re looking for a meaningful opportunity to grow your gastroenterology career within a collaborative academic environment where your expertise is valued and your impact is immediate, we’d love to connect with you.
