Under general supervision, the Advanced Gastroenterology Nurse Practitioner (NP) provides comprehensive care to patients with complex Advanced Gastroenterology (GI) and Advanced Endoscopy conditions within a fast-paced ambulatory specialty practice.

The NP provides independent clinical assessment and management of new and established patients, including patients seen through the Expedited Consultative Clinic (ECC), formal Advanced GI consultations, urgent visits, and post-procedure follow-up.

The NP performs comprehensive histories and physical examinations; orders, reviews, and interprets diagnostic testing; develops and implements individualized plans of care; provides patient education and counseling; and coordinates diagnostic, procedural, and specialty follow-up.

The NP works collaboratively with Advanced GI/Advanced Endoscopy physicians, APPs, nursing staff, and multidisciplinary teams to facilitate timely evaluation and treatment of patients with complex gastrointestinal conditions.

A primary responsibility of this position will be caring for Advanced GI patients, with an emphasis on new patient consultations generated from internal and external referral populations. The NP will participate in the clinical review and triage of Advanced GI referrals and facilitate appropriate diagnostic evaluation, procedural planning, and follow-up.

The Advanced GI patient population may include patients with:

• Pancreatic and biliary disorders
• Pancreatic cysts and lesions
• Biliary obstruction and strictures
• Complex gastrointestinal lesions
• Complex polyps requiring advanced endoscopic management
• Abnormal gastrointestinal imaging or diagnostic findings
• Conditions requiring Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
• Conditions requiring Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
• Advanced polypectomy and endoscopic resection
• Other complex diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures
• Urgent post-procedure concerns and complications

The NP is expected to independently assess patients, initiate appropriate diagnostic evaluation, formulate plans of care, coordinate procedures and follow-up, and recognize conditions requiring physician consultation or escalation.

The NP will independently evaluate patients referred for expedited consultation, initiate appropriate diagnostic workups, formulate treatment plans, and facilitate timely transition to the appropriate Advanced GI, procedural, or specialty care pathway.

The NP may provide both ECC consultations and formal new-patient Advanced GI consultations and may assist…
