Description
Seeking a highly motivated nurse coordinator to join our multidisciplinary Adult Cystic Fibrosis (ACF) Pulmonology team within the Canning Thoracic Institute. This nurse will join a strong and collaborative team where physicians, APPs (advanced practice providers) and a multi-disciplinary team work closely together to provide high quality direct patient care, consultation and education to complex acute and chronically ill patients in the outpatient setting. The ACF coordinator ensures the smooth running of the clinics and works to implement various aspects of care from the multi-disciplinary team. The ACF coordinator will also be part of the quality improvement team that meets regularly to identify and help implement areas of improvement. This position will also partner with ACF program leadership to prepare for program meetings, develop patient education materials, and ensure operational efficiencies are met.
