UAB Medicine is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider (APP) to join our Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Team. The APP will practice in both inpatient and ambulatory settings, with a majority of time spent in the inpatient setting. In the inpatient role, the APP will care for kidney and kidney/pancreas transplant recipients that are re‑admitted to the hospital for medical complications post‑transplant. The APP will work collaboratively with physicians and fellows, but also be expected to work autonomously in plan development and daily care of the patients.

Less time will be spent in the ambulatory role in the Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Clinic. The APP will see pre‑transplant patients that are referred for kidney transplant evaluation.
