Consistent with the values of UVM Health, this position supports community engagement and upholds the highest standards of patient-centered care.

Clinical Scope

Patient population includes individuals and couples seeking care for infertility, reproductive endocrine disorders, and fertility preservation.

This is a primarily outpatient position with minimal inpatient responsibilities which may include occasional consultations for urgent, medically indicated fertility preservation or other coordination with inpatient teams as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate and manage new and established patients with infertility and reproductive endocrine disorders in collaboration with REI physicians
• Interpret diagnostic testing related to hormonal evaluation; counsel and educate patients regarding fertility treatment options, protocols, and medications
• Assist with and, where appropriate, perform in-office hysteroscopy procedures
• Contribute meaningfully to patient experience, workflow innovation, operational efficiency, quality improvement, and the continued growth of the REI program

• Practice with a high degree of autonomy and clinical responsibility with procedural involvement while working collaboratively with REI physicians and the broader care team
• Participate in program development initiatives, including expansion of medically indicated fertility preservation services (such as ovarian tissue cryopreservation and gamete cryopreservation) and, if desired, participate in novel clinical and translational research efforts within the REI division

Schedule

• This is a full-time 1.0 FTE exempt position scheduled to work primarily Monday - Friday during daytime outpatient hours, with some early morning monitoring clinics as needed to support fertility treatment cycles
• Occasional participation in a shared weekend call rotation with REI physicians, which is anticipated to be approximately once per month
• Intermittent schedule adjustments to accommodate earlier start times for procedural or operating room support should be expected

Experience

Minimum of 2 years prior clinical experience in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and/or fertility treatment coordination strongly preferred. The ideal candidate will have experience counseling fertility patients, managing fertility treatment cycles, and performing office-based procedures such as fertility monitoring ultrasounds, intrauterine insemination (IUI), saline sonohysterography (SHG), mock embryo transfer, and endometrial biopsy.

New NP or PA graduates are not able to be considered for this position.
