Inpatient duties are required, though hospital consults are infrequent, and hospitalists handle all admissions.

The team includes one physician, two APPs (no supervision required), and support from nursing (2:1 ratio), reception, lab, social workers, and referrals. Services include antineoplastics, phlebotomies, IV IgG, iron therapy, and bone marrow biopsies. Each provider has four exam rooms. The facility offers medical imaging, lab, and pharmacy services.

Epic is used for EMR, and there are teaching opportunities. Candidates must be Board Certified, have an active IA license or IMLC, and be fellowship trained in Hematology/Oncology.
