INTRODUCTION
Piedmont Healthcare is seeking a highly motivated Advanced Practice Provider (APP) to join The Thoracic Rescue, ECMO & Lung Transplant Program. This position is designed as a longitudinal transplant-focused APP role integrated across the continuum of advanced lung disease and lung transplant care, including pre-transplant evaluation, inpatient non-ICU management, outpatient longitudinal follow-up, immunosuppression surveillance, multidisciplinary coordination, and post-transplant continuity of care. The APP will function as a physician-aligned clinical extender working closely with the lung transplant physicians and multidisciplinary transplant team to support comprehensive, patient-centered thoracic transplant care. This role is intentionally structured to provide continuity across ambulatory and inpatient settings rather than functioning within a geographically restricted “inpatient” or “outpatient” model. This position is structured around a longitudinal continuity-of-care model rather than a shift-based inpatient coverage structure. The APP will function as an integrated member of the Lung Transplant and Thoracic Rescue Program across ambulatory and inpatient non-ICU settings, supporting continuity, multidisciplinary coordination, and longitudinal patient management throughout all phases of transplant care.
Responsibilities
Clinical Responsibilities:
- Perform comprehensive evaluations of patients with advanced lung disease undergoing lung transplant consideration and assessment
- Participate in longitudinal management of patients with advanced thoracic disease throughout all phases of transplant evaluation, waitlisting, transplantation, and post-transplant follow-up

- Independently evaluate and round on hospitalized lung transplant and advanced lung disease patients in non-ICU settings in collaboration with supervising transplant physicians
- Evaluate and manage outpatient transplant and advanced lung disease clinic patients, including routine follow-up visits, urgent evaluations, transplant assessments, and post-discharge continuity visits
- Assist in coordination of transplant evaluations, diagnostic testing, and multidisciplinary transplant candidacy discussions
- Participate in pre-transplant patient and family education regarding transplant evaluation, listing process, expected peri-transplant course, immunosuppression, long-term follow-up, and potential complications
- Review laboratory, microbiologic, radiographic, pulmonary function testing, and pathology results and coordinate appropriate follow-up plans
- Assist in immunosuppression management and medication surveillance under transplant program protocols and physician collaboration
- Coordinate transitions of care following hospitalization and transplantation
- Participate in multidisciplinary transplant candidate selection and management discussions
- Assist with waitlist management, transplant readiness evaluations, and longitudinal patient tracking
- Provide patient and family education regarding transplantation, medications, immunosuppression, complications, and long-term post-transplant care
- Communicate with referring physicians and outside providers to support continuity of care
- Maintain timely, accurate, and complete documentation within the electronic medical record
Programmatic Responsibilities:
- Assist with development and maintenance of transplant clinical pathways, protocols, and standardized workflows
- Participate in transplant quality improvement initiatives and programmatic growth efforts
- Support transplant regulatory, compliance, and documentation processes as needed
- Participate in educational initiatives for staff, patients, and referring providers
- Collaborate closely with transplant coordinators, pharmacists, social workers, dietitians, rehabilitation specialists, and consulting services
SCHEDULE AND WORK STRUCTURE
This position is designed around a longitudinal continuity-of-care model with integrated clinical responsibilities spanning outpatient, inpatient non-ICU, and transplant coordination settings.
The role emphasizes continuity, patient ownership, multidisciplinary collaboration, and physician-aligned transplant care rather than shift-based inpatient service coverage.
