University of Maryland Capital Region Health is seeking an accomplished and forward-thinking Internal Medicine Residency Program Director to lead our Graduate Medical Education program and help shape the next generation of physicians.

This is more than a program leadership position-it is an opportunity to build an exceptional learning environment, mentor future physician leaders, advance academic medicine, and make a lasting impact on the health of the communities we serve.

As Program Director, you will have the opportunity to bring your vision for medical education to life while partnering with engaged faculty, hospital leadership, Graduate Medical Education leaders, and clinical teams across our organization.

Why This Role?

• Shape the educational experience by developing and advancing a dynamic, competency-based curriculum.
• Mentor residents and faculty while fostering professional growth, scholarship, leadership, and lifelong learning.
• Create a culture where people thrive by championing resident well-being, psychological safety, collaboration, and meaningful feedback.
• Drive innovation and continuous improvement across education, quality, patient safety, and program performance.

• Maintain excellence in accreditation and program standards while ensuring compliance with ACGME, GMEC, institutional, and specialty-specific requirements.
• Remain connected to clinical practice, providing care in both ambulatory and inpatient settings.

As Program Director, you will have a meaningful voice in the future of Graduate Medical Education at UM Capital Region Health.

You will oversee the resident experience while cultivating a learning environment grounded in clinical excellence, curiosity, professionalism, belonging, scholarship, patient safety, and compassionate care.

Your Leadership Will Directly Influence

• MD or DO degree from an accredited institution
• Current American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) or American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine (AOBIM) certification
