APP Surgery Lead - Manager Clinical Program

Lead Surgical Excellence in the Heart of Baltimore

Are you an experienced Advanced Practice Provider looking to elevate your career into a leadership role with real impact? University of Maryland Medical Center Midtown Campus is seeking an innovative and collaborative APP Surgery Lead to help shape and support surgical advanced practice care within a growing, patient-centered academic community hospital setting.

This is more than a clinical role—it’s an opportunity to lead, mentor, and influence the future of surgical APP practice while remaining hands-on in patient care. You’ll partner closely with physicians, nursing leadership, and operational teams to drive high-quality outcomes, improve workflows, and support APP excellence across the surgical service line.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Combine clinical expertise with leadership and mentorship
• Help shape and grow surgical APP practice at Midtown Campus
• Work closely with multidisciplinary surgical and hospital leadership teams
• Influence quality initiatives, patient experience, and operational efficiency
• Practice in a collaborative environment where APP voices are valued
• Opportunity to make a visible impact within a respected academic health system

What You’ll Do

• Provide direct patient care within the surgical service line
• Serve as a lead resource and mentor for APP team members
• Support onboarding, scheduling coordination, workflow management, and APP engagement
• Collaborate with surgeons, nursing, and administration to optimize care delivery
• Assist in quality improvement initiatives and evidence-based practice implementation
• Promote a culture of teamwork, accountability, and exceptional patient care
• Support operational and clinical goals across the surgical department

What We’re Looking For

• Certified Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant with active Maryland licensure (or eligibility)
• Surgical, acute care, inpatient, or perioperative APP experience preferred
• Previous leadership, charge, preceptor, or mentorship experience strongly preferred
• Strong communication, organizational, and relationship-building skills
• Ability to lead within a fast-paced and collaborative clinical environment
• Passion for APP development and delivering outstanding patient-centered care

Why Midtown

University of Maryland Medical Center Midtown Campus offers the best of both worlds—the resources and innovation of a leading academic health system with the close-knit collaboration and culture of a community-focused campus. Providers here have the opportunity to make a direct impact while helping drive meaningful growth and transformation across the organization.

Located in the heart of Baltimore, Midtown offers convenient access to vibrant neighborhoods, top dining, cultural attractions, and an energetic healthcare community.

Lead the Future of Surgical APP Care

If you’re ready to take the next step into surgical APP leadership and want the opportunity to influence patient care, mentor future APP talent, and help shape a growing program, we’d love to hear from you.
