We are seeking a physician with leadership experience to lead an established Hospitalist program at Houston Methodist Baytown in close collaboration with the Senior Leadership Team. Candidates must be Board Certified in IM/FM with experience in Hospital Medicine. Our mission is to provide safe, high-quality care, the first time, every time, to HMB patients within a professional, collegial, inter-professional multi-disciplinary team to produce optimal efficiency and premier customer service. 

Our hospital is located 30 miles southeast of Houston.
