  Nurse Practicioners
Faculty/Staff

Nurse Practitioners work under the supervision of the attending MD. The NP provides for daily clinical care of your child. They perform physical exams, write orders and prescriptions and can answer many of your questions regarding transplant-related problems. Nurse practitioners rotate between the inpatient (hospital) and outpatient (clinic) settings.
