Job Description:

Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant Pediatric Infusion Center (Pediatric Oncology)

This Advanced Practice Provider will join our nationally ranked pediatric program at Primary Children’s Hospital. This APP will have responsibility primarily for the outpatient infusion center at the Primary Children’s Miller Lehi Campus. Training will take place in Salt Lake City. The ideal candidate will have APP experience with the Pediatric Hem/Onc population, although those with prior APP experience or prior Hem/Onc experience may be considered.

We treat children, adolescents, and young adults—ranging in age from newborn through mid-20s—with pediatric cancers, non-malignant blood disorders, and immunodeficiencies. While this position will primarily manage care for outpatient Hematology/Oncology infusion patients, this infusion center will also manage care for other pediatric subspecialty infusions.

Clinical responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: the assessment and evaluation of patients, development of care plans, management of infusions and infusion reactions, inpatient consultations and rounding, management of prescriptions, 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 and bone marrow aspirates and 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 will typically be scheduled Monday - Friday during regular clinic hours with the potential for some weekend coverage possible.
