Job Description

Join Our Compassionate Team!

Become a vital part of the VA Maryland Health Care System's (VAMHCS) Geriatrics and Extended Care (GEC) Clinical Center , where your work truly matters. As a Hospice and Palliative Care (HCP) Physician , you will help veterans navigate some of the most meaningful and delicate moments of their lives—with dignity, empathy, and expert care.

Your Mission:

In this role, you will:

  • Deliver high-quality palliative care in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
  • Lead with empathy—managing symptoms, guiding difficult conversations, and supporting patients and families.
  • Collaborate with a dedicated interdisciplinary team.
  • Participate in program development and mentoring.
  • Work in a mission-driven environment that prioritizes veteran dignity and well-being.

What You'll Do:

  • Provide palliative care consultations and longitudinal care at both the Loch Raven and Baltimore sites.
  • Participate in advance care planning, hospice referrals, and complex decision-making.
  • Serve as a key member of the interdisciplinary team.
  • Contribute to program improvement and possibly academic efforts through University of Maryland affiliations.

Location:

Your primary workplace will be the Loch Raven VA Medical Center , with additional clinical duties at the Baltimore VA Medical Center . Both facilities offer a calm, accessible, and veteran-friendly setting focused on delivering exceptional care.

Why This Role Rocks:

  • Competitive salary with annual performance bonuses and regular salary increases.
  • Generous paid time off—50-55 days per year, including annual leave, sick leave, and paid Federal holidays.
  • Traditional federal pension and a 401K with up to 5% contributions by VA.
  • Comprehensive federal health, vision, dental, and life insurance options.
  • Free liability protection with tail coverage provided.

Requirements:

  • Completion of a Hospice and Palliative Care Fellowship or equivalent experience.
  • Certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine or the American Board of Family Practice is advantageous but not required.
  • A full and unrestricted medical license from any US State or territory.

Work Schedule:

Enjoy a balanced work-life with a Monday to Friday schedule, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

About the Area:

Downtown Baltimore is a vibrant urban center that combines historic charm with modern amenities. From the scenic Inner Harbor and its waterfront attractions to cultural landmarks like the Walters Art Museum and the American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore offers endless opportunities for exploration. The city boasts a thriving food scene, professional sports teams, and easy access to major cities like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York.
