Job Summary

NOTE:  This position is eligible for a $10,000 sign on bonus for new hires

At UCSF, we're proud that our pediatric gastroenterology program is ranked among the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. An occasional upset stomach is just part of being a kid. But sometimes it's more serious. We're here to help with everything from the most common digestive issues to the most rare and complex illnesses.

Under general supervision of the Ambulatory APP Manager, Division Chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology, and guided by the policies and procedures of UCSF Medical Center Ambulatory Services, the Nurse Practitioner provides direct clinical care, consultation, education, and leadership. Direct patient care includes the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients in the pediatric gastroenterology and subspecialty outpatient clinics.

Our Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic cares for infants, children and teens with a wide range of symptoms and disorders of the stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas. We also offer specialized treatment for many gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. These include motility disorders, which disrupt the body's normal process of moving food and fluids through the digestive system, and conditions affecting the body's ability to absorb nutrients, such as cystic fibrosis and celiac disease (in which the immune system responds to gluten ingestion by attacking the small intestine).

Our team includes doctors, nurse specialists, registered dietitians, pharmacists, therapists, pain management specialists and other providers specifically trained to care for children. We work together to give your family a precise diagnosis and develop a treatment plan tailored to your child's needs. As leaders in research and therapeutic innovation, we strive to deliver the latest and most effective treatments, whether that means a new nutritional approach to managing a chronic illness or a novel surgical technique to address an urgent condition.
