Job Description:

Primary Children’s Hospital | Salt Lake City, Utah | Inpatient Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant

Bring your pediatric expertise to a nationally recognized program where experienced advanced practice providers play a central role in complex inpatient care, clinical decision-making, family support, and program advancement. At Intermountain Health, you will help fulfill our mission of “helping people live the healthiest lives possible” while caring for children, adolescents, and young adults facing cancer, blood disorders, transplant, and immunologic disease.

Why experienced pediatric APPs join our team

• Practice at an advanced level. You will manage high‑acuity pediatric hematology, oncology, and transplant patients across the full inpatient journey—from admission and treatment through complication management and transition of care.
• Join a nationally ranked pediatric program. Your work will be in the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Primary Children’s Hospital, a regional destination for highly specialized pediatric care.
• Be a trusted clinical partner. You will collaborate closely with attending physicians, experienced APP colleagues, nursing, pharmacy, consulting services, and a broad multidisciplinary team.
• Advance leading‑edge care. Support patients receiving chemotherapy, hematopoietic cell transplant, cellular therapy, immunology care, and therapies available through clinical trials and collaborative research.
• Expand your professional impact. Contribute to quality improvement, staff education, research, and the ongoing development of pediatric hematology, oncology & BMT practice.

About the role

As an inpatient Advanced Practice Provider, your primary focus will be the Hematology and Oncology service, with cross‑coverage for Bone Marrow Transplant as needed. You will provide comprehensive, evidence‑based care for patients from the newborn period through their mid‑20s and serve as a consistent clinical resource for patients and families throughout complex treatment journeys.

The program serves families across the Intermountain West and combines multidisciplinary expertise, advanced treatment, and research participation. Our teams contribute to national and international collaborations designed to improve outcomes and expand access to innovative therapies.

What you’ll do

• Assess and manage hospitalized pediatric Hematology, Oncology, BMT, and immunology patients, including new transplant and immunology consultations.
• Develop, implement, and adjust individualized care plans in partnership with attending physicians and the multidisciplinary team.
• Order and manage chemotherapy, infusions, prescriptions, supportive care, and treatment‑related monitoring within scope and privileges.
• Recognize and treat disease‑and therapy‑related complications and respond to changes in clinical condition.
• Perform procedures such as lumbar punctures, bone marrow aspirates and biopsies, and skin biopsies.
• Coordinate consulting services, home care needs, follow‑up, discharge planning, and safe transitions of care.
• Provide clear, compassionate education and guidance to patients and families.
• Participate in quality improvement, staff education, clinical initiatives, and department research.

Schedule and practice environment

This is a 24/7 inpatient service. APPs work 12‑hour shifts with a rotating mix of weekdays, weekends, nights, and holidays. The schedule supports continuous specialty coverage and close collaboration across the Hematology, Oncology, and BMT teams.

What you’ll bring

• Utah license as a Physician Assistant (PA) or Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN).
• Board certification as a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant.
• Utah Controlled Substance License.
• Federal DEA registration for schedules II–V.
• Current PALS and BLS certification for healthcare providers.
• Preferred: Clinical experience in pediatric hematology, oncology, bone marrow transplant, cellular therapy, or another high‑acuity pediatric specialty.

We are especially interested in experienced pediatric APPs who bring strong clinical judgment, confidence in interdisciplinary practice, and a commitment to supporting children and families through complex care. APPs with substantial pediatric acute‑care experience or prior Hem/Onc/BMT experience may also be considered.

How we’ll support you

Intermountain Health offers a generous benefits package along with paid time off, license reimbursement, malpractice insurance coverage, quality incentives, and an annual CME allowance to support your professional development and wellbeing.
