Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center • Full-time • Seattle, WA, US • $120,868.80 - $191,027.20 / year • 5m ago

Overview

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is an independent, nonprofit organization providing adult cancer treatment and groundbreaking research focused on cancer and infectious diseases. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington.

With a track record of global leadership in bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy and COVID-19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading cancer, infectious disease and biomedical research centers. Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states. Together, our fully integrated research and clinical care teams seek to discover new cures to the world’s deadliest diseases and make life beyond cancer a reality.

At Fred Hutch we value collaboration, compassion, determination, excellence, innovation, integrity and respect. These values are grounded in and expressed through the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. Our mission is directly tied to the humanity, dignity and inherent value of each employee, patient, community member and supporter. Our commitment to learning across our differences and similarities make us stronger. We seek employees who bring different and innovative ways of seeing the world and solving problems. Fred Hutch is in pursuit of becoming an anti-racist organization. We are committed to ensuring that all candidates hired share our commitment to diversity, anti-racism and inclusion.

The Fred Hutch Cancer Center is seeking an advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP) or a certified physician assistant (PA-C) to provide an integrative medicine approach to the evaluation and medical management to Oncology and Hematology patients in the Fred Hutch Cancer Center Integrative Medicine (IM) Program.

They will facilitate IM clinical research in this population. Integrative Medicine services may be offered from time of diagnosis to end of life. Integrative medicine therapies offered will focus on evidence-based symptom management, rather than cancer treatment, due to the available level of evidence.

The ARNP/PA-C will, within an integrative medicine framework, assess and manage basic health needs of patients, address treatment toxicities, perform integrative medicine procedures (e.g., acupressure, medical auricular acupuncture), and consult with and refer to professional peers as needed.
