UAB Medicine is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider (APP) to join our Perinatal Palliative Care Team. This role supports the Perinatal Palliative Care Program’s mission to enhance quality of life for patients and families facing serious illness by delivering compassionate, holistic care throughout the perinatal journey. The APP serves as a key clinical partner to patients, families, and the interdisciplinary care team, providing expert palliative care consultation, guiding complex conversations around goals of care and ethical decision-making, and supporting coordinated care planning across settings.
The ideal candidate will have at least three years of NP experience providing clinical care to patients with complex medical problems and/or providing end-of-life care. Candidates with at least one year of Neonatal ICU experience and/or Palliative/Hospice experience preferred. ACHPN certification is expected at hire or within two years of hire date.
No matter what drives you – whether it’s the fast pace of trauma care, the celebration of a last infusion treatment, caring for the sickest babies in the region, or the longstanding relationships developed in family medicine – UAB Medicine offers advanced practice Providers (APPs) the opportunity to challenge their skills across the entire continuum of care. Our 750-plus inpatient and ambulatory APPs work alongside world-renowned physicians and a host of dedicated care team members to deliver on our mission of providing compassionate, high-quality care.
This happens through collaborative practice, which is more than a set of terms and guidelines; collaboration at UAB reflects a true partnership among APPs and physicians, patients, and our interdisciplinary care teams. You’re empowered to lead and put patients first. Your creativity, innovation, and know-how are seen as essential contributions to helping deliver best-in-class health care. You’ll also participate in research and develop best practices to drive innovation and improvement, both at UAB Medicine and across the APP community.
