Responsibilities
Medical Oncology is looking to hire a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) into the Thoracic Oncology Care Team.
This Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) will be part of our adult Medical Oncology outpatient practice, seeing patients with thoracic malignancies including lung cancer, thymus cancer and mesothelioma. The Thoracic Oncology care team is comprised of thoracic oncologists, NP/PAs, pharmacists, nursing, research team members and other allied health professionals.
NPs and PAs are an integral part of cancer care at Mayo Clinic. They see patients at initial consultation and follow established patients, guiding them through their treatment plan in close collaboration with oncologists. The NP or PA manages treatment-related toxicities for patients who are going through standard and research-based cancer treatment. They provide care and support for patients during all aspects of their disease course. This includes ordering of curative intent therapy, survivorship care, management of long-term treatment-related toxicities, assessment of cancer status, clinical trial enrollment and end-of-life care. It is crucial that the NP or PA in this role practices holistic evidence-based care, balancing cancer treatment with complex patient psychosocial support needs.
Due to the complexity and breadth of the patient population, the ideal NP/PA candidate requires a commitment to challenging and complex patients, strong teamwork, excellent communication, and assessment skills. The team works in close collaboration with colleagues Pulmonary, Surgery, Radiation Oncology, Palliative Care and other multidisciplinary teams to provide comprehensive cancer care. The NP/PA will have a central role on the team to provide continuity for patients, serve as a provider resource for nursing and help with coordination of care.
Once established clinically, the division and tumor group are supportive of mentoring NP/PAs in other academic pursuits if it aligns with individual’s interest. We strive to see our Advanced Practice Providers excel in clinical practice, research, and education.
