• Collaborate with hospitalists, specialists, and care teams to optimize patient outcomes and transitions, including hospice

Leadership & Team Support

• Serve as the primary clinical leader and resource for the campus palliative care team
• Act as a liaison between palliative care, hospital-based physicians, and system leadership
• Support team development through mentorship, education, and role modeling (no co-signing of APP notes/orders required)
• Promote efficient workflows, communication, and best practices across the team
• Contribute to a high-functioning, collaborative team culture

Program Development

• Partner with system leadership to advance the palliative care program, including future expansion into outpatient and post-acute settings
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, access, and quality of care
• Participate in educational initiatives, including lectures and interdisciplinary learning
