Endocrinology, APP - Inpatient Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism

OU Health

Job Description

\n

The Children’s Hospital at OU Health is seeking a passionate and highly skilled Advanced Practice Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) to join our nationally recognized Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism team. This is a dynamic opportunity to step into a role that blends inpatient management, outpatient continuity, new discharge follow-ups, education, care innovation, and multidisciplinary collaboration—all while helping shape the future of pediatric endocrine care across Oklahoma.
