The growing academic department brings exciting opportunities for innovative patient care, team-based care models, teaching, and research.
Position:
This APP position will be a hybrid role to include both inpatient and outpatient coverage, offering a varied patient population. When outpatient, the APP will have their own clinic template with a major focus on long-term management of our large population of enterally tube fed patients (i.e gastrostomy tube, gastrojejunostomy tube), and patients with general gastroenterology conditions including gastroesophageal reflux disease, constipation, abdominal pain, failure to thrive, and milk protein intolerance. Our outpatient APPs also work collaboratively with our inpatient APPs to ensure excellent hospital follow-up for patients needing our services. While inpatient, the APP will see hospitalized patients in collaboration with the gastroenterology attending physicians. The inpatient GI service is primarily a consultation service offering recommendations to the primary team (general pediatrics, PICU, Cardiology, NICU or hematology/oncology), but at times it has primary patients. The candidate will have excellent mentorship from current experienced GI APP's and supportive supervising physicians.
This position has no nighttime call or weekend responsibilities. There are also opportunities for involvement in clinical research and quality improvement projects.
