Residencies & Fellowships

The Office of Faculty Affairs and Professional Development assists the University of Maryland Medical System in providing collaborative oversight of postgraduate residency education programs. Activities of the office include, providing professional and staff support for oversight of ACGME-approved programs, providing faculty development for residents who teach medical students, and providing faculty development for faculty engaged in teaching at our affiliate clinical sites.

Graduate medical education training for residents and fellows is offered in a variety of clinical sites. The majority of clinical training occurs at the University of Maryland Medical System, the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center. A network of affiliated community hospitals and ambulatory care centers with significant commitment to the importance of a teaching environment provides much of the variety and depth offered to residents and fellows.

GME Programs must seek accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), which is comprised of the following member organizations: American Board of Medical Specialties, American Hospital Association, American Medical Association, Association of American Medical Colleges and the Council of Medical Specialty Societies. GME programs which are new or not yet overseen by the ACGME must be overseen by an equivalent Board or by the UMMC and SOM.

Eligible Residency positions are filled through the National Resident Matching Program. Participating in the Match are the following programs: preliminary programs in medicine and surgery; categorical programs in diagnostic radiology, emergency medicine, family practice, general surgery, internal medicine; combined program in internal medicine/pediatrics, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopaedic surgery, pathology, pediatrics, combined program in pediatrics/emergency medicine and psychiatry; advanced programs in anesthesiology, diagnostic radiology and radiation oncology.

Resident and/or fellowship positions are available in the following ACGME-approved specialty and subspecialty areas and are sponsored by the University of Maryland Medical System. Programs identified with an asterisk (*) are currently approved University of Maryland Fellowship programs and are not currently overseen by the ACGME.
