About The Role
As an inpatient Advanced Practice Provider, your primary focus will be the Hematology and Oncology service, with cross-coverage for Bone Marrow Transplant as needed.

The program serves families across the Intermountain West and combines multidisciplinary expertise, advanced treatment, and research participation. Our teams contribute to national and international collaborations designed to improve outcomes and expand access to innovative therapies.

- Develop, implement, and adjust individualized care plans in partnership with attending physicians and the multidisciplinary team.
- Order and manage chemotherapy, infusions, prescriptions, supportive care, and treatment-related monitoring within scope and privileges.
- Recognize and treat disease- and therapy-related complications and respond to changes in clinical condition.

- Coordinate consulting services, home care needs, follow-up, discharge planning, and safe transitions of care.
- Provide clear, compassionate education and guidance to patients and families.
