Nurse Practitioner

SUMMARY:

The Department of Pediatrics/Division of Adolescent Medicine at Rhode Island Hospital (RIH)/Hasbro Children’s is seeking a part-time 20 hours/week nurse practitioner to join its dynamic team at the Rhode Island Training School (RITS), the state’s only juvenile detention facility.

The nurse practitioner’s role will focus primarily on providing medical care for incarcerated adolescents during their time in the RITS and supporting medical care transition into and out of the facility.  They will work collaboratively with the RITS Medical Director, nursing, and other clinical staff to review clinic operating procedures, engage in quality improvement initiatives, and develop/maintain patient and staff education materials.  Clinical leadership opportunities would be available if the candidate has interest and appropriate skills.  The clinical environment at the RITS includes medical, dental, physical therapy, ophthalmology, psychiatry, and behavioral health services, and seeks to deliver high quality, integrated care to detained youth.

The candidate would join the hospital-affiliated multidisciplinary Adolescent Medicine Division, which provides high-quality, patient centered care and includes physicians, nurse practitioners, a practice manager, nurses, social workers, and dietitians.  Though the candidate’s primary clinical responsibility would be at the RITS, there are opportunities to engage in medical education, research, advocacy, and other professional development activities ongoing within the Division and the Department.  There is the potential to participate in moonlighting for on call coverage at the RITS and/or on the Adolescent Medicine inpatient service at Hasbro.

Hasbro Children’s is the primary pediatric teaching facility for the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, supporting medical students and the Pediatric, Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, and Pediatric/Psychiatry/Pediatric Psychiatry residency programs. Division nurse practitioners are encouraged to participate in the clinical instruction of trainees and to pursue scholarly activities in clinical/laboratory research and/or education.
