Responsibilities: NP/PA FT position, inpatient, days and weekends Exciting opportunity to join an expanding and highly specialized Thoracic & Foregut Surgery practice. This unique role offers the opportunity to care for a diverse patient population across the spectrum of benign and malignant thoracic and foregut disease. Thoracic surgery encompasses the treatment of conditions involving the lungs, esophagus, mediastinum, chest wall, and diaphragm, while foregut surgery focuses on disorders of the esophagus, stomach, and proximal intestine. As a result, providers gain exposure to a broad range of complex surgical conditions, from gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatal hernias to esophageal cancer, lung cancer, and other thoracic malignancies. This position is ideal for an APP seeking to develop expertise within a surgical subspecialty while working in a truly collaborative environment. As an integral member of the care team, you will work closely with surgeons, nurses, APPs, and other multidisciplinary specialists to provide comprehensive inpatient care throughout the perioperative continuum. The role includes management of both pre- and post-operative patients, patient and family education, discharge planning, care coordination, and participation in clinical decision-making that directly impacts patient outcomes. What makes this opportunity particularly unique is the ability to build specialized knowledge within a growing program while maintaining a high degree of collaboration and professional support. For candidates interested in expanding their procedural skills, there may be opportunities to develop expertise in thoracic-based procedures, including pleural drain placement and thoracentesis, under the guidance of experienced faculty and APP colleagues. Our team is committed to fostering professional growth, mentorship, and clinical excellence. We encourage interested candidates to participate in our shadow experience to gain firsthand insight into the practice, patient population, and team culture.
