Job description

The Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group (MAPMG) is a leading group of over 1,800 physicians in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., exclusively caring for Kaiser Permanente patients. We invite applications for a specialist in Orthopedic Hand Surgery at our Lutherville-Timonium Medical Center.

Unlike other U.S. health systems, MAPMG is built and led by physicians who earn competitive salaries, without income based on providing individual services. Our medical group comprises board-certified physicians across 60+ specialties. MAPMG physicians use a comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) to coordinate care. Our focus is on long-term health, prevention, diagnosing, and treating diseases effectively. MAPMG researchers and staff support innovative ideas, ensuring quality care, educational programming, and advancing best practices through research.

What You Can Expect:

• Practice mix of 75-80% hand and upper extremity in office consultations (instead of consultants) and 80-90% hand and upper extremity surgery
• OR Block time (2-3 days per week) including 1 day a week of in-office procedures (carpal tunnel/trigger fingers etc.)
• Call schedule currently 1:6 - general orthopedic call is equally shared in the group
• Physician Assistant support in office for consultations and follow ups
• An established and collaborative community of 8 hand surgeons across MAPMG service areas, fostering a highly collegial environment with regular case discussions, shared expertise, and opportunities to further expand and strengthen the specialty network
• MD or DO
• Board Certified or Eligible in Orthopedic Surgery
• Hand and Upper Extremity Fellowship
• Currently licensed or able to obtain licenses in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia
• Practice patient-centered, culturally competent medical care
• Communicate thoughtfully (listen, educate, advocate)
• Lead with integrity
• Value teamwork
• Are transparent and honest
• Go “above and beyond” for their patients

We Provide You:

• Competitive compensation
• Pathway for physicians to become shareholders of MAPMG
• Comprehensive benefits including 100% employer-funded medical and dental insurance premiums, a pension plan and 401(k), life insurance, and paid leave
• Complete professional liability coverage provided at no cost, 100% reimbursement for obtaining and maintaining board certification, continuing medical education reimbursement, and in-house CME opportunities
• A concierge service that works directly with you to apply for all required state, CDS, and DEA licenses

The starting annual salary for this position is $550,000 which considers an applicant’s skills and qualifications, certain degrees and certifications, training, market data, and other relevant factors. In addition to the salary range above, MAPMG offers rich benefits that add substantial value to the total compensation package.

Effective July 1, 2026, the starting annual salary for this position will increase to $565,000.

MAPMG continuously works to identify and mitigate healthcare inequities, and that starts with providing an inclusive, supportive environment for our physicians. We encourage applicants of any race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin who commit to practicing culturally competent healthcare.
