The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, known as one of the pioneers in personalized cancer medicine, is an international leader in research and cancer treatment. Driven by its mission to end cancer as we know it, the institute is building upon its expertise in targeted treatments to advance the early detection of cancer when the disease is most treatable.

 

The Center for Hematologic Malignancies (CHM) outpatient clinic provides acute and long-term care to patients who have undergone an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) or received other cellular therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy.  

 

Clinic Schedule:  Four 10-hour days between Monday and Friday.  Set schedule to be determined at time of hiring.

• Provide clinical management of patients in Hematology & Medical Oncology; 
• Assure a coordinated, effective, high quality, and efficient care process;  

• Use an interdisciplinary team approach to the care of patients;

This APP sees up to 12 patients per day and provides care in conjunction with a team comprised of physicians, APPs, RN coordinators, and other allied health professionals. As determined by the team's needs, APPs may practice independently or in a shared-care model with physicians.

 

Additionally, this APP may intermittently provide oversight of the infusion unit, responding to acute infusion reactions and urgent medical issues.
