Position Description

The Cancer & Blood Disorders Center of Seattle Children’s Hospital and the University of Washington Department of Pediatrics is expanding clinical capacity on our inpatient unit and on our outpatient disease-based clinical teams.

The Cancer & Blood Disorders Center has close affiliations with research investigators within the Seattle Children’s Research Institute, the Fred Hutch Cancer Center, and the University of Washington. This position will be expected to collaborate across departmental or center boundaries.

The successful applicants will have the following responsibilities:

• Provide exemplary clinical service and assure that patients cared for by you receive only the highest quality care.
• Clinical effort will be dependent on academic track, research interests and funding, and divided among the clinics and inpatient facilities at Seattle Children’s Hospital. The location and ratio of inpatient to outpatient clinical work may be adjusted somewhat depending upon service needs.
• In collaboration with program leaders, contribute to and expand the clinical program and patient services in Oncology.
• Play a role in the education and training program of the pediatric Hem/Onc/BMT Division, including access to and involvement with medical students, residents, fellows, and occasionally physicians in practice.
