• More than 2 years of experience.
• Flu vaccination required or need medical or religious exemption.
• Certifications: ACLS-AHA issued - Required if requesting conscious sedation privileges, BLS-AHA issued - Required for all specialties.

Additional Information

• Hematology is around 65% and Oncology is 35%.
• There are 2 oncologists and 4 APPs in the department. The APPs see most Hematology patients, while the oncologists see the Cancer patients.
• Each current oncologist sees 18-20 patients daily, and the APPs see 14-18 patients daily.
• Usually, the oncologist waits until Sunday to round on 10-12 patients and handle any consults that come in from Friday evening to Sunday morning. There is never an emergency cancer patient a hospitalist cannot handle; they may call for opinions.
• No nurse/APP is on call to field phone calls or hospital consults; the APPs take their own turn being primary call with one of the main oncologists as backup if they have questions.
• The hospitalist usually handles any issues after the oncologist has made their rounds for the day, or it can wait until the next day or Monday morning. If a new consult is placed, it can wait; if it’s something they really need an oncologist for, the hospitalist team will call and let you know, but 90% of the time it can wait. There is a 24-48 hour window to complete consults.
