Hours: Variable

Please include your CV, 3 references, and a cover letter in your application that indicates reasons for your interest in Virginia Mason and the hospitalist fellowship program. Our timeline to start the fellowship is July/August 2020.

The Section of Hospital Medicine is pleased to offer two positions in our sixth cohort of the Advanced Practitioner Fellowship in Hospital Medicine.

Virginia Mason has a well-established hospital medicine group with experience in training medical residents and our APP fellowship program is the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest region. This program is a 12-month post-graduate fellowship program designed to provide structured mentorship for fully licensed practitioners to successfully transition into independent practice of hospital medicine. Washington state regulations allow for advanced practitioners to practice to the full scope of their licenses and Virginia Mason allows advanced practitioners to be fully privileged in the hospital. Preferred candidates will have successfully matriculated from a graduate nurse practitioner program in acute care, adult-gerontology or family practice tracks. Strong preference will be given to those candidates with doctorates, and those candidates with hospital based experience as a bedside nurse, PA, or in clinical rotations.
With numerous awards and distinctions, including our recognition as Top Hospital of the Decade by The Leapfrog Group, Virginia Mason has transformed health care through our innovations in patient safety and our ability to provide patients in our community with easier access to our high-quality care. Consisting of a 362-bed hospital in Seattle, WA, and an extensive network of primary and specialty care clinics throughout the Puget Sound region, joining Virginia Mason is an exceptional opportunity to partner with nationally recognized physicians and peers, and an organization recognized as the benchmark for health care.
As a member of our team, you will contribute to the strength of our Team Medicine approach to collaborative medicine. You will also help to further our commitment to continuous improvement through our Virginia Mason Production System, and our philosophy of empowering you to facilitate real change in the delivery of care. Join us, and find out how many ways Virginia Mason offers you the chance to focus on what really matters - your patients.
