Penn Medicine has an exciting opportunity for Nurse Practitioners and/or Physician Assistants to join the multidisciplinary teams of the world-renowned Penn Transplant Institute. The lung transplant program is seeking to add Advanced Practice Providers to their inpatient service. Responsibilities will include caring for patients with advanced lung disease or complications associated with lung transplant.

This is a high paced inpatient service where the Advanced Practice Provider provides comprehensive care including: admissions, daily clinical tasks and discharge planning. The Advanced Practice Provider is an integral part of not only the inpatient team but the outpatient team as well. The Advanced Practice Provider will work with highly specialized Pulmonologists who highly value the Advanced Practice Provider role and autonomy of the Advanced Practice Provider

These positions will require a high level of independence but are well supported with collaborative practice models. The high-impact clinical setting is dynamic, fast paced and high pressure. Good organizational skills and a strong knowledge of pathophysiology and pharmacology are essential. In these new roles there will be tremendous professional growth potential and the opportunity to participate in Penn Medicine's tripartite mission of clinical care, research and education.

All Advanced Practice Providers will function under the guidelines as designed by the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center medical staff guidelines and are credentialed through that body. The Advanced Practice Provider hired by the Department of Advanced Practice will be held accountable through a formal job description, through the delineation of privileges, and through their agreement with their collaborating/supervising physician who has initiated a Collaborative Practice Agreement.
