Baltimore City is a very diverse, vibrant city with much to offer. The neighborhoods are also very economically diverse and unfortunately some of those neighborhoods have high levels of robberies and violent crime. The University of Maryland Baltimore Police maintains a high profile and this has resulted in few incidents of crime on the University campus. Shuttle services and escorts are also available to University of Maryland employees. Whenever you relocate, you should research the crime and safety statistics for your new neighborhood. Some Baltimore safety statistics can be found at: http://baltimore.areaconnect.com/crime1.htm Crime statistics for the University of Maryland Baltimore campus are available weekly at 410-706-2677.

The process involves a significant amount of paperwork and usually takes about 120 days.  The Faculty Service Specialist will manage your faculty appointment with the University of Maryland School of Medicine, as well as the liaison to the medical staff offices at UMMC and VAMC for all credentialing processes. The HR Generalist will manage your Letter of Intent, Offer Letter, Contract, and Orientation (Benefits Enrollment, Parking, Badge, etc.)
Please be aware that Faculty Appointments may take 2-6 months for completion as they need to be reviewed by the Office of Academic Administration, various committees and/or councils.
