Inpatient Diabetes & Glycemic Management

Emory University Orthopaedics & Spine Hospital | Tucker, GA

16 Shifts Per Month + Full Benefits

About GlyCare

Ready to elevate your career and become a true specialist in hospital-based care? Join Glycare and be part of a team transforming inpatient diabetes and glycemic management. Glycare partners directly with hospitals to serve as a trusted clinical resource for improving glycemic outcomes, reducing complications, and supporting frontline care teams through a standardized, evidence-based consultative model.

We are seeking motivated Advanced Practice Providers who want more than a traditional role — clinicians who are eager to grow their expertise, develop a specialty skill set, and make a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Unlike many inpatient positions, GlyCare providers practice within a highly collaborative and structured environment that offers predictable daytime rounding schedules, comprehensive specialty training, and greater scheduling flexibility. If you’re ready to step into a specialized, high-impact role and experience a different way to practice medicine, we invite you to join us.

Why This Role Stands Out

GlyCare’s providers play a critical role in improving patient safety, reducing complications, and supporting hospitals through specialized inpatient diabetes management. Our work intersects with nearly every major hospital specialty, including:

• Cardiology
• Nephrology
• Infectious Disease
• Surgery
• Nutrition
• Wound Care
• Rehabilitation

Providers work closely with hospitalists, nursing teams, pharmacy, dietitians, and endocrinology support teams to deliver coordinated inpatient care.
