"Hematologic Malignancy, Bone Marrow Transplant, and Cellular Therapy (HBC) Hospitalist"

The UCSF Division of Hospital Medicine at UCSF Health is seeking applicants for the hematologic malignancy, bone marrow transplant, and cellular therapy (HBC) hospitalist position. Our goal is to provide these new faculty members with clinical experiences that match their interests. Many faculty who are hired as HBC hospitalists ultimately transition to subspecialty fellowships while others remain on the faculty.

The UCSF HBC service is a collaborative service involving the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Division of Hematology/Oncology at UCSF. The service provides care to inpatients requiring bone marrow transplant or management of malignancies of the hematopoietic system. The service admits approximately 1200 patients per year.

Created in July 2007, the HBC Service is staffed with a unique hybrid model involving collaborative care provided by both hospitalists and oncology faculty. The hospitalists on the HBC service are physicians trained in Internal Medicine who manage the day-to-day care of the patients while the oncology physicians provide the necessary oncologic expertise. The service is organized in teams involving an oncologist, a hospitalist, and a nurse practitioner.

The service is dedicated to providing the highest quality, safest, equitable, and most compassionate and patient-centered care. The HBC Service thrives on a team model, where nurses, pharmacists, and physicians work closely together to maximize patient-centered care.

Successful candidates for faculty positions will be graduates of excellent internal medicine programs with strong references. Candidates must possess an MD or equivalent degree, be board certified/eligible, and be eligible for licensure in the State of California.
