This physician-led nonprofit hospital is the area’s largest private employer and Maine’s third largest healthcare system, serving 65,000 people. This is an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action employer.

Join a team of 5 experienced GIs and 6 excellent APPs caring for outpatients in state-of-the-art clinics with all the tools you want for evaluation, diagnosis and therapy.

You can look forward to an interesting general practice with room to specialize. Services include endoscopy, esophageal manometry and impedence/Ph probe testing, capsule endoscopy, EUS, ERCP, PEG, FibroScans, and more. Staff radiologists and gastrointestinal surgeons collaborate to provide comprehensive care. You will have a convenient Mon-Fri schedule (40 hours) with call shared 1:6. The medical center is home to an unopposed Family Medicine Residency Program, so opportunities to teach residents and fellows are available.

This hospital-employed position offers a very competitive salary plus production bonuses and benefits including paid relocation assistance, insurance (medical, dental, vision, life, and disability), paid time off for sick leave and vacations, paid holidays, more paid leave plus a budget for your CME, an onsite daycare facility, a choice of retirement plans with employer matching, and more. Generous medical education loan repayment is available.
