Department Summary
The Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (BMT-CT) program has been a leader in the field for over 30 years. Our growing program offers autologous transplants, allogeneic transplants including those using cord blood and haploidentical donors, CAR-T therapy for both malignant and non-malignant disorders, and state-of-the-art research treatment.
The BMT-CT Nurse Coordinator (NC) is a distinctive position within the cohesive BMT-CT program. The NC is the primary clinical contact for patients and families during the pre-treatment phase, and again following acute recovery in the post-treatment phase. In the pre-treatment role, NCs work closely with our physicians to determine what protocols patients will be eligible for, arrange for all required pre-treatment testing, educate the patient and family about the plan of care, coordinate donor search and related donor evaluations, and work with referring physicians. In the post-treatment role NCs work closely with referring physicians and a variety of other specialties as needed in managing long term care, Graft versus Host Disease, and other related complications for this very complex population. There are many opportunities for NCs to advance their knowledge and participate in efforts to improve the care of our patients.
The NC will gain advanced knowledge of the diseases we treat, the therapies we provide, and the management of the long-term side effects of those therapies. Applicant strengths must include: clinical acumen; attention to detail; critical thinking; excellent communication skills; and the ability to work collaboratively within a team and manage a complex caseload. BMT, Hematology, or Oncology specific experience is required. Nurse Coordinator experience is preferred. Within two years of hire we expect that NCs will become BMT certified.
This is a Stanford Health Care job.
