Job Description:
This Advanced Practice Provider will join our Oncology team based at Logan Cancer Center. Our world-class physicians and APPs apply a variety of advanced methods and therapies to reduce and remove cancer cells. Care plans involve individualized treatments based on a patient's cancer type, stage, and location of the cancer, and other considerations.
The APP will provide care in our outpatient clinic, seeing new hematology patients and return office visits with oncology patients. The APP will also provide supportive care, helping patients with symptom management and real-time evaluations. On occasion they may assist in procedures such as bone marrow biopsies. We anticipate the APP will split their time 60% general/routine patient visits, 40% supportive care.
Full time and fully-benefits eligible, the APP will typically be scheduled four 10-hour shifts per week. They may assist in after-hours clinic call in the evenings, weekends, and holidays on a limited basis. While based in Logan, the APP may be asked to provide coverage at our facilities in Ogden and Layton, on an as-needed basis.
We highly prefer an APP with a passion for oncology, significant interest in hematology, and a background in oncology, internal medicine, or hospitalist medicine.
