Sentara Healthcare is seeking two Palliative Care Physicians to join established, interdisciplinary teams in Virginia Beach and Hampton.

​

This is a high-impact role focused on advanced symptom management, complex goals-of-care discussions, and collaboration with experienced nurse practitioners and social workers. You will play a key role in delivering patient-centered care while helping shape program growth.

​

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Two openings driven by program growth and demand
• Strong, team-based care model with dedicated support

• Light call (1:4), backup support only

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base + incentives
• $15,000 sign-on bonus
• $10,000 commencement bonus
• $5,500 annual CME allowance
• Full benefits (health, dental, vision, disability)
• 403b/401a with match
• Malpractice with tail coverage
• PSLF eligible (501c3)
• Epic EMR

Why Virginia Beach & Hampton

• Coastal living with miles of beaches and waterfront lifestyle
• Easy access to boating, fishing, kayaking, and outdoor recreation
• Rich history and vibrant culture (including Williamsburg, dining, and events)
• Lower cost of living compared to major metro areas
• Build a meaningful career without sacrificing quality of life.

Requirements

• MD or DO
• Board Certified/Eligible in Hospice & Palliative Medicine

If you’re seeking a collaborative environment where you can make a meaningful impact in palliative care, we encourage you to apply.
