The successful candidate will be responsible for providing Urologic care independently and in concert with appropriate privileges, including initial and ongoing assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients’ medical, physical and psycho‑social status primarily in the outpatient setting. This individual will be a member of an interdisciplinary team, collaborating with physicians to actively participate in the care of patients undergoing treatment and prevention at the interdisciplinary Urology Clinic at the University of Washington Medical Center Montlake Campus (UWMC‑ML). There will be an opportunity to interact and work with Residents and Fellows.

Specific tasks include obtaining relevant patient history, including family and social history; ordering, initiating and/or performing appropriate tests; performing comprehensive physical exams; identifying diagnoses based on history, test result interpretation and assessment; prescribing and/or instituting treatment plans based on assessments and diagnostic tests; prescribing medications as needed; evaluating patient outcomes and adjusting treatments accordingly; post‑operative management; working with systemic therapies for advanced cancer; dealing with symptom management and palliative care issues; and initiating consultation with attending physicians, fellows, and chief resident.
