About The Position

Join the University of Chicago Medicine as an Advanced Practice Provider for the Inpatient Hematology/Oncology Night Advanced Practice Provider Team. This role is a full-time, nights position. A sign-on bonus of up to $10,000.00 and a relocation package are available. As an Advanced Practice Provider (APP), you will be responsible for comprehensive direct patient care management in the hospital setting, playing a critical role in delivering evidence-based care to critically ill patients in a fast-paced academic medical center. The night shift APP covers three inpatient services: Inpatient Leukemia, Inpatient Cellular Therapy, and Inpatient Chemotherapy. These services are APP-staffed and supported by a Hematology/Oncology Fellow and Hematology/Oncology Attending. After an orientation period, the APP will work independently and autonomously, managing established inpatients and admitting new patients. The APP will be trained to manage oncologic emergencies such as neutropenic fever, tumor lysis syndrome, and cytokine release syndrome. While the fellow and attending are available as resources, they will not be in the hospital at night. Optimal staffing is 2-3 APPs per night covering all three services. This is a 100% onsite opportunity, requiring the APP to be based in the greater Chicagoland area.
