Job Requirements Company Description

University of Maryland Urgent Care, a proud member of the University of Maryland Medical System, is committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality, and patient-centered care to individuals and families across the communities we serve. We are transforming healthcare delivery through convenient, accessible, and affordable services for a wide range of non-emergency illnesses and injuries.

Job Description

UM Urgent Care providers serve as clinical leaders in our centers—delivering exceptional medical care, fostering outstanding patient experiences, and working collaboratively in a close-knit team environment with medical assistants and radiologic technologists. We care for patients ages one and older, treating a wide range of conditions including upper respiratory infections, sprains and strains, lacerations requiring sutures, employee health physicals, work-related injuries, and preoperative evaluations. Providers work 12-hour clinical shifts (8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.). Urgent care is a fast-paced, dynamic environment that offers a broad spectrum of patient presentations, ranging from acute illness to minor injuries.

Work Experience

Qualifications

  • Candidates must be licensed Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants in good standing with the state of Maryland, or have licensure pending approval.
  • An active NPI number, DEA registration, and CDS license are required, or the candidate must be in the process of obtaining them.
  • While not required, prior clinical experience in urgent care, emergency medicine, intensive care, or primary care settings—whether as a provider, nurse, or technician—is strongly preferred.
  • We are seeking individuals with a proactive, growth-oriented mindset and a genuine passion for delivering high-quality patient care.
  • The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, enthusiastic about urgent care medicine, and open to feedback as part of their ongoing professional development

Additional Information

At the start of employment, we provide side-by-side clinical training shifts to ensure new providers develop the hands-on procedural skills, core clinical knowledge, and EHR proficiency needed for success.

Market context

Maryland advanced-practice roles stay selective

In Maryland, advanced-practice openings in trauma, critical care, and acute surgery tend to draw steady interest because hospitals need clinicians who can step into high-acuity settings with minimal ramp-up. These roles are competitive when employers want a master’s-prepared nurse practitioner with active Maryland licensure, recent specialty experience, and current BLS and ACLS credentials. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits on this platform to quickly confirm fit against the original job description, then tailor your application to highlight your most relevant acute-care experience.
