Inpatient Advanced Practice Registered Nurse or Physician Assistant - Hospital Medicine

Advanced Practice Provider (APRN/PA)

The primary purpose of the Advanced Practice Provider (APRN/PA), in the Department of Hospital Medicine is to promote and maintain the health of HM patients across the care continuum throughout the institution supporting the inpatient hospitalist programs. As the Department of Hospital Medicine is a service that operates 24/7/365, evening shifts will also be supported by the hospitalist advanced practice providers for after-hours and weekend coverage, rotating holidays and COVID coverage.

This will be an inpatient evening shift role covering 12:00pm-10:00pm working 7on-7off shift (Tuesday-Mondays).

The ideal candidate for the Advanced Practice Provider (APRN/PA) role in the Department of Hospital Medicine is a patient-centered, highly collaborative clinician who excels in a fast-paced, 24/7 inpatient environment and is comfortable supporting evening admissions, weekend, holiday, and surge coverage. This individual brings strong clinical judgment and autonomy, performing comprehensive histories, physical and psychosocial assessments, interpreting diagnostic data, and developing and communicating effective treatment plans in partnership with attending physicians and multidisciplinary teams. The ideal candidate demonstrates a solid foundation in pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and pharmacologic management, applies analytic thinking to complex clinical situations, and delivers timely, efficient, and compassionate care tailored to varied patient populations. They are committed to service excellence, professionalism, ethical practice, and patient safety, while fostering respectful communication, collegiality, and effective service recovery. A passion for education and academic engagement is essential, including patient and family education, participation in clinical research, and teaching and mentoring advanced practice students, house officers, medical students, and nursing staff.
