Job Description:

Advanced Practice Provider (Pediatric Oncology)

This Advanced Practice Provider will join our nationally ranked pediatric program at Primary Children’s Hospital. The APP will have primary responsibilities on the Inpatient Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant services overnight with intermittent day shift rotations required. The ideal candidate will have APP experience with the Pediatric Hem/Onc/BMT population, although those with prior APP experience or prior Hem/Onc/BMT experience may be considered.

We treat children, adolescents, and young adults—ranging in age from newborn through mid-20s—with pediatric cancers and non-malignant blood disorders. Inpatient clinical responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: the assessment and evaluation of patients, development of care plans, management of prescriptions, management and ordering of chemotherapy and infusions, coordination of home care needs, patient and family education, communication with consulting services, coordination of patient follow-up, completion of procedures (to include lumbar punctures, bone marrow aspirates and biopsies, and skin biopsies), and integration with the multi-disciplinary team to meet patient care needs as appropriate. Participation in quality improvement initiatives and department research is also strongly encouraged.

Full time and fully benefits-eligible, the APP schedule will include weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Orientation for this role will occur on day shift, with a transition to a night role upon completion of orientation.
