Job Description
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 Urgent Care Pediatrics at our Caton Hill Medical Center.

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.
