Bring your oncology expertise to a growing leukemia program where advanced practice providers are essential clinical partners in delivering highly specialized, patient-centered malignant hematology care.
UVA Health is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider to join the Malignant Hematology - Leukemia team in Charlottesville, Virginia. This is a compelling opportunity for an experienced NP or PA who is drawn to complex leukemia care, independent ambulatory APP practice, and the chance to grow within an academic medicine setting that values collaboration, teaching, and specialty development. The area is growing, with the APP team expanding from three providers to four providers and additional physician growth planned- 2 to 4 within the leukemia program.
The Role
In this role, you will help care for patients with leukemia and other malignant hematologic conditions across the continuum of treatment, including care before, during, and after chemotherapy. The practice is primarily outpatient and offers an independent APP clinic model with physician collaboration, giving you meaningful autonomy while keeping you connected to a highly specialized multidisciplinary team.
The strongest candidates will bring oncology experience, chemotherapy management knowledge, and a commitment to high-quality cancer care. Leukemia experience is highly desirable, but motivated APPs with strong oncology backgrounds or significant oncology nursing or clinician experience may also be competitive. Skills such as bone marrow biopsy procedures, disease-specific leukemia knowledge, specialized oncology workflows, and chemotherapy-related competencies can be developed as part of onboarding and growth in the role.
Key aspects of the role include:
-
Managing leukemia patients receiving treatment before, during, and after chemotherapy
-
Building and maintaining an independent ambulatory APP practice
-
Working within independent APP clinic templates in partnership with leukemia physicians
-
Caring for patients with leukemia, additional malignant hematology populations, and rare hematologic diseases
-
Performing procedures such as bone marrow biopsies, with potential for skin biopsies depending on service needs
-
Collaborating with ambulatory APP colleagues, leukemia-focused APPs, myeloma APPs, lymphoma APPs, leukemia attending physicians, and an expanding physician team
-
NCI designated cancer center while participating in a collaborative multidisciplinary cancer care environment
-
Supporting education through teaching, precepting learners, and opportunities for presentations and academic involvement
-
Developing specialty expertise through professional growth based on individual strengths and interests
The schedule is especially attractive for oncology APPs seeking meaningful specialty practice with a sustainable rhythm. This is a primarily outpatient, Monday-Friday ambulatory position with no weekends, nights, or call.
