Job Summary

Patient Blood Management ( PBM ) is a patient-centered and evidence-based approach applied at the system-level to improve patient outcomes by managing and preserving a patient’s own blood. 21% of patients nationally are iron deficient, defined as ferritin < 30 ng/mL. The nurse practitioner (NP) or physician’s assistant (PA) in this position will support UUH’s PBM program by providing care within the Hematology Clinic at Sugar House Health Center, primarily to patients identified as being iron deficient. This is an expansion of the Hematology Clinic at Sugar House Health Center, which will focus specifically on the diagnosis, treatment and/or management of iron deficiency with or without anemia.

This clinic is expected to consist mainly of virtual visits being the primary examination mode. When the occasional on-site clinic visit is needed, this will occur at the Sugar House Health Center, but as the position evolves, these rare on-site clinic visits could occur at any UUH or partner locations. This fully benefitted role within the UUH School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Hematology, is full time, M-F, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with flexibility to work 32 to 40 hours per week (0.80-1.0 FTE ) based on the candidate’s preference.
