Job Details

Cleveland Clinic’s Integrated Hospital Care Institute is seeking a qualified Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner (Acute Care Certified) to join our dynamic inpatient pulmonary team in a full-time position. This position offers a unique opportunity to work across three specialized service lines: Primary Pulmonary service, Advanced Pulmonary Unit (APU), and the Lung Transplant service to provide comprehensive care to patients with acute and chronic medical conditions. Although each service has a distinct identity, there is a strong interdisciplinary and collaborative relationship between each service line to ensure comprehensive, effective, and optimal patient care.

A provider in this role will manage patients across a wide spectrum of acute illness, ranging from those requiring stabilization and management on a general nursing floor to those needing critical interventions in a transitional intensive care setting. Providers in this role must be prepared to assess, stabilize, and manage varying levels of acuity as patients’ clinical needs evolve. A provider in this role will work collaboratively with pulmonary staff physicians to complete patient evaluation, rounds, results interpretation, decision-making, and treatment implementation. This role requires a set number of varying 10-hour and 12-hour shifts per month between 7 am – 5 pm or 7 am – 7 pm depending on the service line that is covered.

This role is ideal for a motivated and adaptable APP who is eager to contribute to high-quality patient care across diverse inpatient settings. Experience is preferred, but new graduates are welcome to apply. Generous sign-on bonus is available for external candidates with at least 3 years of APP experience!
