Bisected by the Willamette River, Portland is a vibrant city nestled among green woods and waterways. Only 90 minutes from the spectacular Oregon coast or towering Mount Hood, Portland offers the rare accessibility of snow-to-surf. Portland embraces cyclists, hikers, brewpubs, dogs, climbers, artisan coffee shops, book readers, foodies, professional soccer and basketball fans, award-winning wineries, concertgoers and paddle boarders. It’s no wonder Portland constantly ranks as one of America’s favorite lifestyle cities.
We are seeking a dynamic individual to join both our Ambulatory Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Infusion Center teams in the Department of Pediatrics and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. The APP provides collaborative and multidisciplinary care with a team of attending physicians, resident and fellow trainees, nurses, and medical assistants.
The Doernbecher Infusion Center provides nearly 5,000 infusion and transfusion services per year and serves patients from the following pediatric sub-specialties: Hematology-Oncology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Neurology, Allergy and Immunology, Pulmonology, Metabolic Diseases, Genetics, and Ophthalmology. The APP proactively manages and improves the daily operations of the Infusion Center, including optimizing patient safety, patient volumes, space utilization, clinical workflows, and improving the family/patient care experience. The APP provides collaborative problem-solving and support for Infusion Center nursing staff, excluding direct RN supervision. The APP conducts pre-infusion office visits and oversees the transfusion of blood products and the infusion of chemotherapy, iron, IV IgG and other pharmaceutical agents. The APP manages acute clinical issues that may arise in the Infusion Center, including infusion reactions and anaphylaxis, and ensures that all orders are complete and signed.
The APP will have numerous opportunities to become involved in quality improvement work, education, research, and childhood advocacy. Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, the Department of Pediatrics, and the Division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology are committed to developing our faculty members’ careers. A pathway for academic appointment to the professorial series was recently implemented at OHSU.
Professional participation is expected, including attendance in relevant educational conferences and didactic conferences.
As teaching is an important portion of the OHSU and Doernbecher Children’s hospital mission, you will have the opportunity to teach a broad range of learners and staff.
