If you're ready to be part of our legacy of hope and innovation, we encourage you to take the first step and explore our current job openings. Your best is waiting to be discovered.
Day - 10 Hour (United States of America)Head/Neck Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Job Description:For Advanced Practice Providers (DNPs, NPs, PAs) that wish to work in Oncology, with a sub-specialty in Head/Neck Medical Oncology, we are actively recruiting for 2 full time positions. Head/Neck cancers include cancers of the nasopharynx, sinuses, oropharynx (both HPV-mediated and those from heavy smoking/alcohol use), oral cavity, tongue, salivary glands, among others (including skin cancers that metastasize to Head/Neck regions). Given the location and complexity of these cancer diagnoses, caring for head and neck cancer patients is both technically complex and emotionally compelling.
The APP will build expertise/knowledge/skills in general medicine as well as in the Head/Neck Medical Oncology specialty. Stanford Health Care strives to ensure APPs work at the top of their license/scope, therefore APPs will transition over time from working in co-shared settings with their MD colleagues to treating the same patient panel in their APP independent clinic. Patients seen in independent practice includes previously treated patients under surveillance, newly diagnosed patients, patients on cancer-treatment both short-term and long-term, as well as patients that require transition to hospice after multiple lines of treatment.
This is a Stanford Health Care job.
