The Director will report to the Section Chief, Hematology and Medical Oncology and will collaborate with other key stakeholders, including leaders in pediatric hematology, general internal medicine, psychiatry, nephrology, pulmonary/critical care medicine, and the emergency department to establish workflows and best practices that will provide seamless and coordinated care to patients with sickle cell disease seen at Boston Medical Center.
