Description

Central California Faculty Medical Group (CCFMG), affiliated with UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program, has a position available for a full time licensed Nurse Practitioner to work collaboratively with our interdisciplinary team of physicians, advanced practice nurse, social worker, chaplain, and fellows. Expected to provide palliative care primarily at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, California. Ideal candidates will have a track record of expertise in pain and symptom management, complex communication, shared decision making, and collaborative provision of education, psychosocial and spiritual support to patients with a variety of life-limiting illnesses and their families. Responsibilities include shared supervision of team members.

The program is based in Fresno, California, a city that combines a high standard of living with a low cost of living. The result is a quality of life uniquely Californian, yet surprisingly affordable. Limitless recreational opportunities and spectacular scenery are accessible in a community with abundant affordable housing. While there is much to see and do in Fresno, the city is ideally located for fast, convenient getaways to the majestic Sierra (just 90 minutes away) as well as the scenic Central Coast, (just 2 ½ hours away). Fresno is the only major city in the country with close proximity to three national parks, including the renowned Yosemite National Park. Fresno is uniquely placed within a short drive of both San Francisco (just 3 hours away) and Los Angeles (just 3 ½ hours away), making it easy to enjoy the art, food, and nightlife that both cities have to offer.
