About The Position

Medical Oncology is looking to hire a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician
Assistant (PA) into the Gastroenterology Oncology Care Team.

The Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) will be an integral part
of our adult Medical Oncology outpatient practice, seeing adult patients with
gastrointestinal malignancies as part of our GI care teams.

NPs and PAs see patients at initial consultation and follow established
patients, guiding them through their treatment plan in close collaboration with
medical oncologists. The NP or PA manages treatment-related toxicities for
patients who are going through standard and research-based cancer treatments
including chemotherapy, immunotherapies, and targeted therapies. Additionally,
the NP or PA provides holistic care and support for patients during all aspects
of their disease course. This includes ordering of curative intent therapy,
survivorship care, management of long-term treatment-related toxicities,
assessment for cancer regression/progression/recurrence, clinical trials
enrollment and end-of-life care.

Due to the complexity and breadth of the patient population, the ideal NP/PA
candidate requires a commitment to challenging and complex patients, excellent
communication, teamwork, and assessment skills. The individual NP PA will work
within the GI Oncology Tumor Group. The GI group has 6 care teams comprising of
Consultants, NP PAs, RNs and other allied health. These teams are subdivided
into the following subspecialty focus areas: Colorectal, Gastroesophageal,
Pancreatic, Hepatobiliary and Neuroendocrine cancers with the goal of
streamlining patient care and clinical trial enrollment. There is cross
coverage to provide support to patients with all GI malignancies. The teams
work in close collaboration with colleagues from Gastroenterology, Surgery,
Radiation Oncology, Palliative Care, and other multidisciplinary teams. The NP
PA will have a central role on the team to provide continuity for patients,
serve as a provider resource for nursing and help with coordination of care
across multidisciplinary teams. Our NP PA are true experts in their area of
focus.

Once established clinically, the oncology team is very supportive of mentoring
NP PAs in other academic and research pursuits. We take pride in working with
individuals to identify their professional development interests and foster
them. We strive to see our Advanced Practitioners excel in clinical practice,
research, and education shields.
