Maryland Collaborating Physician Jobs – Connect with Clinics Hiring Physicians
Maryland creates physician collaboration demand on two fronts: new NPs need an 18-month mentor, and all PAs must have a “Patient Care Team Physician” listed in a Board-notified Collaboration Agreement. With Maryland’s October 2024 PA regulatory overhaul, the state’s robust Baltimore-DC corridor healthcare market, and a growing medspa and aesthetics industry with specific cosmetic procedure requirements, Maryland is a structured and well-compensated collaboration state.
Major update (October 1, 2024): Maryland replaced its PA “delegation agreement” framework with a new “Collaboration Agreement” model governed by COMAR 10.32.03. The physician is now called a “Patient Care Team Physician” (PCTP) rather than a supervising physician. No Board approval is required — the PA simply notifies the Maryland Board of Physicians of the executed agreement. This is one of the most significant PA regulatory changes in Maryland’s history.
New NPs Need an 18-Month Mentor — All PAs Need a Patient Care Team Physician
Maryland creates two distinct physician collaboration markets — a time-limited NP mentorship window and a permanent PA Collaboration Agreement requirement.
New NPs Who Have Never Been Certified in Maryland or Any Other State
New NP applicants must name a mentor on their application — a physician or certified NP with 3+ years of clinical experience who will be available for advice, consultation, and collaboration for 18 months from the date the Board receives the application.
• Mentor can be a physician OR an experienced NP
• No mandatory chart review or proximity requirement
• After 18 months, NP has full independent practice authority
• This is the NP physician collaboration opportunity in Maryland
All Maryland PAs — Patient Care Team Physician Required
Every Maryland PA must execute a written Collaboration Agreement and notify the Maryland Board of Physicians before practicing. The physician is listed as a Patient Care Team Physician (PCTP).
• Board notification only — no Board approval required
• No mandatory chart review percentage
• One PCTP or multiple PCTPs allowed on a single agreement
• Separate agreement required per employer
• Cosmetic procedures require a separate addendum (COMAR 10.32.09)
Maryland’s October 2024 PA Regulatory Overhaul and Dual-Provider Framework Create a Modern, Well-Structured Collaboration Market
Maryland’s major October 2024 regulatory change transformed its PA framework from a delegation-based supervisory model to a modern collaboration model. The new Collaboration Agreement under COMAR 10.32.03 lists the physician as a Patient Care Team Physician (PCTP) rather than a supervising physician — language that reflects genuine peer-level collaboration rather than oversight. Board notification (not approval) is all that’s required.
For NPs, Maryland’s 2015 FPA law created an 18-month mentorship window for newly licensed NPs — with the mentor being a physician or experienced NP available for advice and consultation. This generates a consistent, renewing pipeline of new NPs entering Maryland’s thriving Baltimore and DC suburban healthcare markets who need a physician mentor for their 18-month window.
Maryland’s medspa and cosmetic procedure market is one of the most active in the Mid-Atlantic region. PAs performing cosmetic procedures (Botox, laser, etc.) require not only a Collaboration Agreement but also a separate Collaboration Agreement Addendum for Advanced Duties under COMAR 10.32.09 — making the physician’s role in Maryland’s aesthetics market particularly well-defined and well-valued.
Maryland State Requirements
New NPs (never certified in Maryland or any other state) must name a mentor — a physician or certified NP with 3+ years of experience — on their application. Mentor is available for advice, consultation, and collaboration for 18 months from Board application receipt date. After 18 months, full independent practice. COMAR 10.27.07.01(B)(7); Health Occ. Art. §8-101
All Maryland PAs must execute a Collaboration Agreement and notify the Maryland Board of Physicians before practicing. No Board approval required — notification only. The agreement lists one PA and one or more Patient Care Team Physicians (PCTPs). A separate agreement is required for each employer. COMAR 10.32.03.05; Health Occ. Art. Title 15 (eff. Oct. 1, 2024)
The Collaboration Agreement must include: each PCTP’s name, Maryland license number, and qualifications to collaborate; the PA’s name and license number; primary practice location; and any delegation of prescriptive authority. Multiple PCTPs may be of different practice specialties. COMAR 10.32.03.06(B)
Cosmetic procedures (Botox injections, laser hair removal, etc.) require a separate Collaboration Agreement Addendum for Advanced Duties filed with the Board. The PCTP must meet the criteria outlined in COMAR 10.32.09 (Cosmetic Regulations) before cosmetic acts may be delegated to a PA. COMAR 10.32.09; Advanced Duties Addendum
No ratio cap — no limit on number of PAs per PCTP. No mandatory chart review percentage under the new collaboration agreement framework. PA must maintain a copy of the collaboration agreement at their primary practice location. Governed by Maryland Board of Physicians (COMAR 10.32) and Maryland Board of Nursing (COMAR 10.27).
What a Collaborating Physician Does in Maryland
Maryland’s framework is modern and lean — Board notification for PAs, mentorship availability for new NPs, and a specific cosmetic addendum process for medspas. We structure and coordinate everything.
Sign & Notify the PA Collaboration Agreement
Execute the Collaboration Agreement with the PA listing you as Patient Care Team Physician. The PA then notifies the Maryland Board of Physicians of the executed agreement — no Board approval needed. Agreement is kept on file at the PA’s practice location.
Serve as NP Mentor (New NPs)
For new Maryland NP applicants, serve as their mentor — a physician with 3+ years of clinical experience who is available for advice, consultation, and collaboration for 18 months beginning from the date the Board receives the NP’s application. After 18 months, the mentorship concludes.
Cosmetic Procedure Addendum (Medspas)
For PAs performing cosmetic procedures such as Botox, laser hair removal, or fillers, sign and file a Collaboration Agreement Addendum for Advanced Duties with the Board. You must meet COMAR 10.32.09 cosmetic regulation criteria before cosmetic acts may be delegated. We prepare and file the addendum.
Be Available for Consultation
Be accessible for clinical consultation as defined in the Collaboration Agreement. Maryland’s new framework does not mandate specific chart review percentages or on-site visit frequencies — your availability and oversight role is defined at the practice level.
Separate Agreement Per PA Employer
Maryland requires a separate Collaboration Agreement for each of a PA’s employers. If a PA works at two different practices, they need two separate agreements — each listing the PCTP. We structure and manage each agreement independently.
Earn Income From Both Streams
Receive income from NP 18-month mentorship arrangements and permanent PA Collaboration Agreements. Maryland’s active medspa market and the cosmetic addendum process make PCTP arrangements particularly well-compensated in aesthetics settings.

Maryland Clinic Types We Work With
From Baltimore’s Inner Harbor medspa corridor to Montgomery County’s affluent DC suburb wellness market and Maryland’s rural Eastern Shore — NP mentors and PA Patient Care Team Physicians are in demand across every clinic type.
This Opportunity Is Ideal For
Physicians with an active Maryland medical license issued by the Maryland Board of Physicians
Physicians in relevant specialties comfortable with Maryland’s cosmetic procedure addendum for medspa PA arrangements
Those seeking dual-stream income from NP mentorships and permanent PA Collaboration Agreements
Physicians with 3+ years of clinical experience who can serve as an NP mentor under Maryland’s Board of Nursing framework
Your Maryland medical license must be active and in good standing with the Maryland Board of Physicians. For NP mentorships, you must have at least 3 years of clinical practice experience. For PA cosmetic procedure agreements, you must meet the additional criteria under COMAR 10.32.09. No general specialty-matching requirement applies to standard PA Collaboration Agreements — multiple PCTPs of different specialties may be listed on a single agreement.
Maryland Collaborating Physician Jobs — NP and PA Dual-Track Demand Across Baltimore, Annapolis, and the Old Line State
Maryland creates physician income from two permanent tracks: NPs who need a physician for the 18-month / 1,800-hour collaborative practice period under SB 370, and PAs who require a Delegation Agreement permanently with no independence pathway. With a 6-CRNP plus unlimited-PA combined framework and no proximity requirement, Maryland offers consistent collaborating physician jobs, remote physician jobs, and part time physician jobs across Baltimore, Annapolis, Rockville, Columbia, and Maryland’s extensive suburban and rural communities.
Remote Physician Jobs — No Proximity, 18-Month NP Window + Permanent PA
Maryland imposes no geographic proximity requirement for either NP collaborative practice arrangements or PA Delegation Agreements. Physician consultation availability is satisfied by phone or electronic means. For physicians seeking remote physician jobs, Maryland offers a dual-track income structure: NP arrangements with a defined 18-month / 1,800-hour window, and PA Delegation Agreements that are permanent — both manageable remotely with no on-site requirement in statute.
Part Time Physician Jobs — 6-CRNP Cap Plus PA Income
Maryland allows up to 6 CRNPs in collaborative practice simultaneously, plus PA Delegation Agreements with no explicit ratio cap for PAs. This dual-track, capped NP plus unlimited PA structure gives Maryland physicians meaningful flexibility to build part time physician jobs portfolios across both provider types. The 18-month NP window creates a rotating pipeline alongside the permanent PA income base.
Physician Consulting Jobs — Baltimore and Annapolis Wellness Markets
Baltimore’s Federal Hill, Canton, and Roland Park wellness corridors and Annapolis’s West Street and Eastport health districts generate demand for physician consulting jobs beyond standard collaborative income. NP and PA-operated medspas, GLP-1 weight loss clinics, and telehealth platforms across Maryland seek physician consulting jobs for protocol development, payer credentialing, and QA oversight — structured as retainer engagements alongside standard collaboration income.
Physician Advisor Roles — Post-1,800-Hour Independent NPs and PA Practices
After Maryland CRNPs complete their 1,800 hours and 18 months, they practice independently. Many choose to retain a physician advisor for QA governance, payer credentialing, and protocol support. These physician advisor jobs are structured voluntarily with no Maryland Board filing obligation and are available as remote physician advisor jobs for Maryland-licensed physicians across the state.
CollaboratingPhysician.com maintains an active pipeline of collaborating physician jobs across Maryland and matches physicians with CRNP and PA practices within 24 to 48 hours. Whether you are looking for collaborating physician jobs, remote physician jobs in Baltimore or Annapolis, part time physician jobs across Rockville and Columbia, or remote physician advisor jobs with Maryland-based telehealth platforms, we structure NP collaborative practice agreements and PA Delegation Agreements to meet Maryland Board of Nursing and Board of Physicians requirements, track 1,800-hour milestones, and manage every arrangement throughout.
