Palliative Care Physician

The Palliative Medicine Service, which is part of the Section of General Internal Medicine at Boston Medical Center, is seeking dedicated palliative care physicians to join our faculty. Boston Medical Center is the largest safety-net hospital in New England and is committed to providing accessible, high-quality health care to all. The hospital is the main teaching affiliate of Boston University School of Medicine, and our faculty members work with students, residents, and fellows in their clinical practice. The Palliative Medicine Service includes clinicians who practice in both inpatient and outpatient settings. We have an integrated, interprofessional team that supports the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of patients living with serious illness. In addition to patient care, faculty members provide education to learners at all levels. Support is provided for each faculty member to develop individualized career paths. Desired skill sets include strong clinical skills, commitment to lifelong learning and education, good communication skills, and dedication to caring for underserved populations.

Statement of values

We believe that faculty diversity is essential to our delivery of care and is an integral component of faculty excellence, and we are committed to fostering an environment that is supportive and respectful. Diversity is multidimensional and may encompass life experience, gender, sexual orientation, race, national origin, ethnicity, physical ability, spiritual beliefs, and intellectual approach. As we engage and are challenged by one another, diverse perspectives will enhance the quality of intellectual exchange and the creation of knowledge. All faculty, staff, trainees, and students deserve to feel respected and valued for who they are and for the values they hold.

The Boston University Medical Group is committed to sex/gender and racial equity in faculty recruitment, compensation, promotion, leadership, and retention. Our ultimate aim is to build a cohort of leaders throughout BMC/BUCASM that reflects the racial, ethnic, and sex/gender diversity/composition of our overall faculty

BU conducts a background check on all final candidates for certain faculty and staff positions. The background check includes contacting the final candidate's current and previous employer(s) to ask whether, in the last seven years, there has been a substantiated finding of misconduct violating that employer's applicable sexual misconduct policies. To implement this process, the University requires a final candidate to complete and sign the form entitled "Authorization to Release Information" after execution of an offer letter.
