NURSE EDUCATOR, ONCOLOGY - SouthWest [Texas, Rocky Mountain]

Overview

Work Location: Field-Based

About the Role

Cancer doesn’t care how it disrupts the course of lives. We do. Since our founding, we have pursued one goal: develop targeted cancer therapies to improve outcomes for cancer patients. This singular focus has positioned us as a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer. At ImmunoGen, each of us is driven by a shared conviction that by advancing precise, targeted cancer therapies, we have the power to offer more good days to patients and their families ― now. It is why we come to work each and every day, and it is what will continue to motivate and energize us in the years to come.

ImmunoGen is currently looking for a Nurse Educator (NE) to join our growing Solid Tumor Field Commercial team. The primary role of the NE is to educate healthcare professionals involved in the patient care team (e.g., MD, RN, NP, PA, Pharm.D., Optometrist, Nurse Navigators), in collaboration with other commercial colleagues and to enable the safe and appropriate use of ImmunoGen therapies. As a commercial-integrated educational resource, the NE helps the patient care team deliver optimal patient care through education on the product that supports the safe and responsible initiation of therapy and promotes adherence to treatment in both the academic and community setting. Education may include patient treatment management including dosing, adverse event mitigation and management, and other related clinical topics. As appropriate, the NE helps with the design of tools and resources that enhance the clinical management of patients (e.g., patient and healthcare provider educational resources).
