Family Medicine Residency Program Core Faculty

Meritus Health in Hagerstown, MD, is seeking

two 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. The program has received excellent reviews from each

ACGME site visit and inspection, and currently holds no citations.

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.
