ER physician

As an ER physician, do you want to take charge of acute care and help build the Emergency Department of tomorrow?

As an ER physician, you have a central role within all acute care processes at the Maastricht UMC+ Emergency Department. You are the first to assess, set priorities, and determine policy for patients with diverse and complex problems.

You coordinate the progress of patient care in close cooperation with acute internists, ER nurses, PAs, and involved specialties. You combine direct patient care with clinical leadership and process monitoring.

In addition to your work on the floor, you make an active contribution to the training of residents, HAIOs, PAs, and students. In our academic setting, you are given space to deepen your professional knowledge and education, and we make room for your scientific development. We expect you to contribute ideas regarding innovation, quality, and the further organization of the ED.

The university medical center is an environment where patient care, academic education, and scientific research come together. Every day, more than 8,500 colleagues work on the care of today and tomorrow.

The Emergency Department features 21 modern treatment rooms and treats approximately 24,000 patients per year. As part of the Limburg Trauma Care Chain, we fulfill a regional and supra-specialist function. We continuously invest in the improvement of acute care and in the further development of our department.

Within the ER team, ER physicians, physician assistants, and nurses work together with clear responsibilities and short lines of communication. Professional accessibility and collective decision-making are central.

Working as an ER physician at Maastricht UMC+ means working in an academic environment where patient care, education, and research reinforce each other.

You not only provide acute care but also contribute to the development of colleagues and the further professionalization of the department. You work at the intersection of complex clinical decision-making and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Within the MUMC+, you are given space to deepen your professional expertise, contribute to education, and develop in the fields of innovation or scientific research.

• Are you willing to participate in the 24/7 shift schedule, including evening, night, and weekend shifts?

• Can you provide a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) before the start of employment?

Additionally, it is a condition that you are allowed to work in the Netherlands (EU/EEA nationality or a valid work permit).

Then we are for you!
