NP) Urology Oncology- Hybrid Surgical and Medical Oncology

UVA Health•Charlottesville, VA

26d•$116,123 - $171,163•Hybrid

About The Position

Step into a highly specialized, evolving APP role at UVA Health where urologic oncology care meets surgical precision and longitudinal patient management. This is a unique opportunity to practice at the top of your license in a hybrid model that blends operative exposure with complex medical oncology care, all within a nationally recognized academic health system. In this role, you will be part of a forward-thinking APP structure designed to support growth toward increased clinical autonomy, while maintaining strong physician collaboration in a highly specialized oncology environment. This APP position offers a dynamic blend of surgical and medical oncology responsibilities, supporting patients across the continuum of urologic cancer care. You will work closely with urologic oncologists while developing deep clinical expertise in both procedural and longitudinal management. On a typical day, you will work Monday-Friday (no call, no weekends) from 8am-5pm in outpatient clinic. You will partner with urology-oncology surgeons and interdisciplinary teams to manage complex cancer patients, provide pre-operative, intra-operative support, and post-operative care, including rounding and consults. You will manage patients in the clinic setting, including follow-ups and treatment coordination, participate in treatment planning, patient education, and symptom management across disease stages, and contribute to continuity of care across inpatient and outpatient environments in a hybrid surgical-medical model. You will engage in a high-acuity, high-complexity patient population requiring advanced clinical decision-making and adaptability. This role is especially compelling for APPs seeking depth in oncology care, surgical exposure, and a clearly defined pathway toward greater autonomy. UVA Health is evolving its APP practice model, where APPs work under two collaborating physicians and over approximately two years, APPs transition toward increased independence. Nurse Practitioners function as advanced practice RNs with structured collaboration, while Physician Assistants operate within a medical model with a distinct pathway to independent clinical practice. Physician collaboration remains a foundational element, ensuring both clinical excellence and professional support.
