Job Description:

Site: Wentworth-Douglass Hospital


At Mass General Brigham, we know it takes a surprising range of talented professionals to advance our mission-from doctors, nurses, business people and tech experts, to dedicated researchers and systems analysts. As a not-for-profit organization, Mass General Brigham is committed to supporting patient care, research, teaching, and service to the community. We place great value on being a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization as we aim to reflect the diversity of the patients we serve.


At Mass General Brigham, we believe a diverse set of backgrounds and lived experiences makes us stronger by challenging our assumptions with new perspectives that can drive revolutionary discoveries in medical innovations in research and patient care. Therefore, we invite and welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups in healthcare - people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ community, and/or gender expansive, first and second-generation immigrants, veterans, and people from different socioeconomic backgrounds - to apply.


The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is a system-led operating entity formed by Mass General Brigham to deliver high quality, low cost, innovative community-based ambulatory care. This work stems from Mass General Brigham's unified system strategy to bring health care closer to patients while lowering total health care costs. The Medical Group provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral and mental health, and urgent care, both digitally as well as at physical locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. The group also offers outpatient surgery and endoscopy, imaging, cardiac testing, and infusion. We share the commitment to delivering a coordinated and comprehensive experience across all locations, ensuring the appropriate level of care is available to every patient across our care delivery sites.


Our practice is in the state-of-the-art Pease Building located at 67 Corporate Drive, Building A, 2nd Floor in Portsmouth, NH 03801. We are one of the largest and most trusted providers of orthopedic care in both the Seacoast region and the state of New Hampshire. Our sub-specialized orthopedic surgeons and compassionate staff are dedicated to treating all orthopedic/sports and joint injuries, in addition to offering women's sports medicine, pediatrics, spine care, and regenerative medicine services.


We have been a leader in sports medicine for more than 30 years, with other practices located in Somersworth, Lee and Portsmouth. We are the official orthopedists and team physician group for the University of New Hampshire in recognition of our advanced training and ability to understand complex sports injuries.


Are you ready to bring your talent to this team and join us in moving health care forward?
