Play a pivotal role in advancing specialty care within a high-demand clinical area where access, innovation, and patient outcomes are top priorities. This opportunity offers the ability to directly influence how Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology services evolve within a leading academic health system.
This Advanced Practice Provider position at UVA Health blends
clinical autonomy, program development, and specialty exposure into a single, career-defining role. You will work closely with an established group of physicians while building your own patient panel and contributing to a growing service line that is meeting significant unmet patient demand.
The RoleThis is a
high-impact outpatient role designed for an APP who is energized by both clinical practice and the opportunity to help shape a developing specialty program. As the
first APP in the division, you will have meaningful input into workflow design, patient care models, and long-term program growth.
In this role, you will balance independent clinical responsibilities with close collaboration across a multidisciplinary team, managing a diverse patient population in both general allergy and eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE).
You can expect your day-to-day work to include:
- Providing outpatient care across general adult allergy and immunology and EOE, with a long-term target of balanced exposure between both areas
- Managing and growing your own patient panel, with increasing autonomy as you ramp into the role
- Interpreting allergy testing and contributing to diagnostic and treatment planning decisions
- Working across multiple clinical locations including Zion Crossroads, Northridge, and Emily Couric Cancer Center
- Participating in approximately 8 patient-facing sessions per week in a structured ambulatory setting
The clinical environment is
fast-paced and high-volume, reflective of the strong demand in this specialty. You will initially spend more time in general allergy as volume dictates, with a gradual shift toward EOE care as program growth continues.
The role includes a clear onboarding pathway:
- Early phase focused on shadowing and clinical integration
- Mid-phase ramp into independent patient care
- Long-term expectation of full patient panel ownership and productivity
This position is well suited for clinicians who are confident, adaptable, and motivated to build something meaningful within a supportive academic framework.
