PRN Advanced Practice Provider-Pediatric Surgical Services

About this role: 

This Advanced Practice Provider will join Primary Children's Surgery Services team, providing care to pediatric patients based at both Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City in Same Day Surgery and Children’s Procedure Center,  and Primary Children’s Lehi in Same Day Surgery and Imaging.  The APP will need to be able to cover at both locations. Our APPs serve in all of these pediatric patient care settings and may provide minimal sedation services in Imaging.

We work collaboratively with anesthesiologists, surgeons, nurses, and physicians from a variety of specialties. We see patients the day of surgeries and procedures, assess their safety, and implement plans of care including preforming histories and physicals, prescribing medications, and intervening as needed. We are a reference for and collaborate with anesthesiologists, surgeons, specialty providers and the perioperative nursing teams . We also continuously look ahead a few weeks in advance to evaluate patients coming for procedures, and optimize them for their anesthesia and procedures.  We use provider-level decision making for these interventions in a supportive environment with a strong commitment to excellence and quality improvement.  Note: While we work collaboratively with colleagues from the OR, there is no surgical/first-assist time associated with this position.

This position is a PRN opportunity where hours worked will vary dependent on patient care needs and APP availability.  When there are needs, a minimum of 1-2 shifts a week will be required, with flexibility to cover a variety of days of the week as needed. Shifts may range from 6, 8, 10, or 12-hour coverage, depending on patient care needs.  All shifts take place Monday through Friday, with currently no weekend, evening, or holiday requirements. Please note, all shifts begin at 05:45 AM or 06:00 AM.
