In addition, the APP (Advanced Practice Provider) will handle patient phone messages, electronic communications, order and evaluate radiologic exams (MRI), lab tests, place referrals, collaborate with our schedulers to arrange treatments, and assist in patient support groups.
In order to keep this busy clinic running, the APP will have to be well organized and efficient. In short, we are looking for an empathic and efficient nurse practitioner with outstanding communication skills to join our high visibility, highly motivated team.
CyberKnife was invented at Stanford Health Care and is used to treat a variety of conditions, with one of the most technologically advanced forms of radiosurgery. CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery uses computer technology that allows physicians to deliver radiation with unprecedented precision. Unlike other radiosurgery technologies, the CyberKnife does not use uncomfortable screws or frames to immobilize patients during treatment.
The CyberKnife is capable of treating tumors anywhere in the body. At Stanford, CyberKnife technology is commonly used for treatment of tumors and conditions of the brain and spine, in addition to cancers of the pancreas, prostate, liver, and lungs. We most recently upgraded to the latest technology.
