Hiring for a 0.9 FTE Advanced Practice Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) on the inpatient Hematology/Oncology APP service; the service covers seven days per week, 0700-1900, including weekends and holidays. It is a collaborative model consisting of four attending physicians and a team of APPs that provides care for patients with hematologic and oncologic diagnoses who are admitted to the hospital due to complications of their malignancy, complications of their treatment, for palliative care, or for chemotherapy. This is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to join a collaborative and supportive APP/MD team practice.
Common cancer diagnoses are lymphoma, sarcoma, testicular cancer, GI cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and head/neck cancer. In addition to treating patients with chemotherapy or on clinical trials, the team manages acute medical problems such as neutropenic fever, pulmonary embolism/DVT, spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia, nausea and vomiting, pain management, palliative care, biliary obstruction, bowel obstruction, pleural and pericardial effusions, pneumonia, atrial fibrillation, and other acute medical diagnoses. This position offers the opportunity to be involved in every aspect of cancer care including initial diagnosis, treatment, clinical trials, management of complications/acute medical issues, and palliative care.
Responsibilities include complete/comprehensive history and physical examination, ordering and interpretation of diagnostic studies, and prescribing appropriate treatments in collaboration with the attending physician. Other responsibilities include consultation with specialist physicians and other team members regarding findings/changes in patient condition, initiation and adjustment of chemotherapy orders in collaboration with the physician, documentation of patient care/procedures per policy, and ensuring longitudinal communications with primary hematologist/oncologist and referring providers regarding patient status.
The position is 100% clinical. The typical morning consists of pre-rounding on patients followed by rounds with the attending physician. In the afternoon, the APP carries out the plan of care for patients, consults with other services as indicated, admits and discharges patients, and performs procedures (including bone marrow biopsy, lumbar puncture, and paracentesis). The night shift (1900-0700) is covered by hospitalists.
