At UMass Memorial Health, everyone is a caregiver - regardless of their title or responsibilities. Exceptional patient care, academic excellence and leading-edge research make UMass Memorial the premier health system of Central Massachusetts, and a place where we can help you build the career you deserve. We are more than 20,000 employees, working together as one health system in a relentless pursuit of healing for our patients, community and each other. And everyone, in their own unique way, plays an important part, every day.

The Dermatology Department at the University of Massachusetts is currently recruiting BC/BE General Dermatologists to meet the needs of our expanding program within the UMass Memorial Health Medical System.

Our academic clinical practice provides care to the local community and additionally serves as a safety net as well as a tertiary referral center for the diverse communities of central Massachusetts. Our physicians see the full spectrum of dermatologic skin conditions, including patients with complex dermatologic diseases referred by both community and other UMass physicians. In addition to practicing clinical dermatology, our faculty actively participate in resident and medical student education, lecture at local, national, and international conferences, have opportunities to participate in clinical research, and take on leadership roles. Those who apply should have a strong desire to advance both their career and the department's reputation as world leaders in dermatology.

The candidate will be joining a close-knit, dynamic faculty of 22 physicians with diverse expertise, including Mohs surgery, pediatric dermatology, cutaneous lymphoma, connective tissue disease, inflammatory diseases, and much more. The department also includes 7 advanced practice providers. Our ACGME-accredited residency program has 12 physician trainees, and these outstanding residents participate in most faculty clinics. We pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence in all mission areas, including patient care, education, and research, along with a longstanding dedication to community engagement and volunteerism.

Come tell us about your interests and aspirations, and we will help you build an amazing career! No specific area of expertise is required to apply. The following areas of interest are a plus:

• Interest and expertise in skin of color and the desire to lead a world-class skin of color center. This is a unique opportunity to build upon our already existing program known for its excellence in translational research and the treatment of patients with Vitiligo and Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

• Interest in inpatient/consultative dermatology to add to our thriving inpatient service currently supported by 2 faculty members. The candidate will spend about 25% of their time covering the inpatient service at UMass University and Memorial campuses and working closely with residents. This role is well-funded with protected time from the clinic, allowing for opportunities in research and innovation.

• Interest in Laser/Cosmetic/Procedural dermatology. We are looking for the right candidate to lead a center for cosmetic/laser excellence to serve our patients' needs. You will work in a newly-renovated spacious suite that houses 5 lasers and join a team of 4 Mohs-trained surgeons and several faculty members with expertise in laser procedures.

• Opportunity to participate in operational leadership, a role that comes with protected time to dedicate to optimizing clinic operations while working in close collaboration with the rest of the leadership team.

These opportunities command a very competitive salary enhanced by an exceptional benefits package, relocation assistance, and CME allowance.

Position Highlights:

• Full support staff including LPNs, MA's, manager, administrative support, billing support, etc.

• Practice is based in Worcester, with satellite offices in nearby towns of Westborough, Leominster, and Clinton
