In these unprecedented times, the University of Maryland Medical System is taking important steps to support their patients, community and employees. In response to Governor Larry Hogan’s call for 6,000 new hospital beds to ensure Maryland is prepared and ready to treat a potential surge in patients with COVID-19, the University of Maryland Medical System is putting together an Emergency Staffing Pool.

The OneUMMS Emergency Staffing Pool is a temporary float pool that will allow us to deploy resources to all 16-member hospitals in the medical system as well as the Baltimore Convention Center Field Hospital (BCCFH). The BCCFH is due to open on April 23, 2020 so we are looking to recruit and hire quickly.

Below is a breakdown of the different roles in our Emergency Staffing Pool. The biggest need we have at the moment is for licensed Social Workers and students currently enrolled in a Social Work program.

Social Worker: This is an ideal opportunity for graduates/alumni that are licensed in Social Work.

Social Work Support: This would be an ideal opportunity for current Social Work students that can perform a routine psych/social assessment.

Clinical Professional: This opportunity is ideal for those that are currently licensed in a clinical profession i.e. RN, Respiratory Therapist, Case Manager, PT/OT, etc.

Clinical Support: This is an ideal opportunity for someone currently enrolled in a healthcare profession or currently certified in a medical field i.e. nursing assistant, pharmacy tech, medical assistant, EMT, phlebotomy etc.

Support Services: This is an ideal opportunity for someone that wants to lend a helping hand but doesn’t have patient care/healthcare experience.

Those serving in these roles will be paid employees of UMMS who are covered by their malpractice insurance and eligible for health insurance.
