Meritus Health in Hagerstown, MD, is seeking Core Faculty for its ACGME-accredited Meritus Family Medicine Residency (MFMR). A foundational goal of the program is to train exceptional family physicians to meet the needs of patients, families and communities. Fundamentally, the program seeks to inspire residents along their individual journey and to promote their unique passions and aspirations as family physician leaders. This is accomplished through purposeful dialogue about building spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual capacity in the chaotic world of medicine. We are searching for a core faculty who value these approaches in teaching, learning, modeling and leading.

The MFMR began in 2019 and graduated its first class in 2022. Currently the program is accredited for 18 (6-6-6) resident trainees.

Further, the program maintains outstanding support from senior health system leadership. Administrative duties will account for 0.6 FTE and clinical duties account for 0.4 FTE. Clinical duties are flexible and tailored to your interests. These can include inpatient, outpatient, obstetrics and/or osteopathic manipulation. The program has an Osteopathic Recognition designation by the ACGME. Preference for physicians who can perform and teach osteopathic manipulation but not required.

Meritus Health is committed to growing and supporting medical education at all levels by transitioning to an academic institution. This transition includes development of the Meritus School of Osteopathic Medicine which welcomed its first class in July 2025. Meritus also has a new psychiatry residency which welcomed its first class in July 2025. Further GME expansion planning includes addition of a general surgery residency, internal medicine residency, sports medicine fellowship and potential others. The MFMR core faculty will have resources to assist the program director in advancing the program in line with the educational mission of the system, with support from all levels of the organization and community.
