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 Ophthalmology at our Caton Hill 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.

  • To spend approximately 2.5 days per month in the operating room (varies by patient load)
  • A large patient population drawn from the tri-state area
  • An opportunity to care for a wide variety of ophthalmology patients
  • Surgical cases only limited by experience and comfort level
  • Collaboration with subspecialists within Kaiser and in the Academic community

We Provide You

  • 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 $387,500 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.
