Job description

Frederick Health Medical Group (FHMG), a highly respected 160+ provider, multi-specialty medical group, is seeking a Gastroenterology Hospitalist to support its growing inpatient GI service line. This opportunity is ideal for gastroenterologists who prefer a hospital-based practice model with strong procedural volume, streamlined workflows, and a predictable schedule—all within a collaborative, physician-led health system.

Frederick is a community of approximately 290,000 and is located less than 1-hour from both Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Frederick is the second largest city in Maryland and is a family-oriented community that has highly ranked public and private schools. Frederick offers both urban and suburban living as well as a variety of attractions, parks, recreational facilities, wineries, breweries, antique shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

About The Role

The GI Hospitalist will focus on inpatient consultative care and endoscopic procedures, working closely with hospitalists, intensivists, surgeons, and emergency department providers. The practice is supported by experienced nursing staff, anesthesia services, and modern endoscopy suites designed for efficiency and high throughput.

The model is built to support clinical excellence, procedural productivity, and work-life balance, without outpatient clinic responsibilities.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive shift-based model - 10 plus shifts per month
• High Procedural Volume - Consistent inpatient demand and consult volume
• Predictable Schedule - Block scheduling model with defined coverage periods
• No Outpatient Clinic Burden - inpatient-focused role
• Modern Endoscopy Infrastructure - Dedicated GI lab and anesthesia support
• Collaborative Care Model - Integrated with hospital medicine and surgical services

Clinical Responsibilities

• Provide inpatient gastroenterology consultations
• Perform diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures (EGD, colonoscopy, urgent GI bleed management, etc.)
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to support timely, high-quality patient care
• Participate in quality improvement and patient safety initiatives
• Provide call coverage aligned with hospitalist GI schedule structure

Required Qualifications

Education & Licensure

• Board Certified or Board-Eligible in Gastroenterology
• Advanced Endoscopy (ERCP / EUS) preferred
• Active Maryland license (or ability to obtain)
• Current DEA license and Maryland Controlled Dangerous Substance (CDS) license
• Current BLS certification (American Heart Association or approved provider)
• Unrestricted license with no history of suspension or revocation
• Eligible for participation with all payers
