Overview

The Hospital Medicine Program, part of the Division of General Internal Medicine (GIM) and the Department of Medicine (DOM), is currently accepting online applications. GIM will review candidate applications for positions on the Hospital Medicine Service and Medicine Consult Service. Candidates may be considered at individual or multiple sections of GIM—Harborview Medical Center, University of Washington Medical Center (Montlake and Northwest campuses), and VA Puget Sound Health Care System. 

Multiple full-time or part-time positions are available with flexible start dates in Summer 2025 through Fall 2026. The open positions are at the Instructor, Assistant Professor, or Associate Professor level on the clinical and Professor of Clinical Practice faculty tracks.

Details are outlined below. Online application are accepted through Interfolio.

We are accepting online applications starting September 11th, 2024.

To facilitate timely scheduling of interviews, we encourage submitting your application by October 11th or as soon as possible. Applications after October 11th are welcome. Interviews will be scheduled as promptly as possible October through January, depending on available open positions. The recruitment committee will review applications in the order received.

Who should apply

Applicants must have an MD or DO degree (or foreign equivalent) and board certification* in Internal Medicine (or foreign equivalent). Applicants must hold or be eligible for Washington State Medical License.

*Note: Board certification in Internal Medicine must be completed within two years after residency.

In order to be eligible for University sponsorship for an H-1B visa, graduates of foreign (non-U.S.) medical schools must show successful completion of all three steps of the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) or equivalent as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Only full-time positions (100% FTE) are eligible for H-1B and permanent residence sponsorship. Employer based permanent residence sponsorship is offered in the Clinical Practice track. University sponsorship is not possible for a J-1 visa.

For VAPSHCS applicants: Applicants must be U.S. Citizens (permanent residents may be appointed only if it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens).

How to apply

There are two faculty track options: Professor of Clinical Practice (CP) and Clinical (FTCF). Please do not apply to both listings – choose the one that best fits your interests. During the interview process, if it is determined that you are better suited for the alternate track, you will be able to resubmit your application to the appropriate listing.

Professor of Clinical Practice: Those interested in providing excellent clinical care, traditional ward teaching with residents, and have interest in pursuing projects in QI, EDI, mentorship, scholarship and/or leadership may be most appropriate for this track, especially those candidates most interested in our resident teaching sites (Harborview, Montlake, and the VA). Information about the positions and application instructions can be found at http://apply.interfolio.com/153023.

Full-Time Clinical Faculty: Those most interested in providing excellent direct clinical care without routine work with residents may be most appropriate for this track, especially those candidates most interested in UWMC Northwest. Teaching and non-clinical opportunities are still available for those interested. Information about the positions and application instructions can be found at http://apply.interfolio.com/152976.

 

Candidates will be asked to upload four required documents:

  1. Cover letter – Please provide a one- to two-page document that includes your area(s) of interest (consult, quality, education, etc.) if applicable
  2. Diversity statement – The University of Washington faculty strive to deliver equitable healthcare in an environment that celebrates diversity. Please provide a one-paragraph statement addressing either 1) experiences with diversity in training, professional/military work, previous teaching, and service or 2) potential to foster more equitable healthcare delivery in the Division of GIM.
  3. Curriculum vitae
  4. References – Please provide a one-page document with a minimum of three references. At least one should be your current or previous supervisor or Program Director. (Please note that the recruitment committee may contact past and current employers and colleagues beyond the provided references.)

Candidates will also be asked to fill out the following online forms:

  1. Preference form
    FTE Preference: Full time, full or part-time, or part-time only
    Shift Preference: Predominantly days or predominantly nights (Please note that all positions require some night and/or swing shift work.)
    Clinical Site Preference: HMC, UWMC – Montlake, UWMC – Montlake Consultative Medicine, UWMC – Northwest, or VAPSHCS (Your application will be reviewed and considered at all clinical sites, but if you have a preference for a particular site, or prefer not to interview at a particular site, that information is helpful to know prior to interviewing. If the VAPSHCS is selected, please provide citizenship status; only U.S. citizens or nationals may be appointed to competitive Federal jobs.)
  2. Current institution and experience form
    Current institution (employer)
    Current position:     Resident (R3), chief resident (R4), fellow, hospitalist*, other/attending physician (If currently a hospitalist or attending physician, specify years of experience [1–2 years, 3–5 years, or 6+ years].)

*Note regarding timeline of job offers: In past years, GIM has typically extended job offers in January and February, although we may continue recruitment beyond then. The number of job openings and timing of offers depends in part on whether existing faculty change clinical commitments and the decisions of other candidates. Due to uncertainty about those factors, GIM is unable to specify an exact response date, but welcome ongoing communication with applicants.
