Acute Care Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant - Cardiothoracic Surgery, Lung Transplant

Mayo Clinic has expanded its Transplant Center by launching a Lung Transplant Program in Arizona, with transplant evaluations and the first successful transplant in the first quarter of 2025. It has complemented the well-established kidney, pancreas, liver, and heart transplant programs. With state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge technology, and a wealth of experience, Mayo Clinic is well-positioned to uphold its tradition of excellence in solid organ transplantation.

Mayo Clinic in Arizona performs over 800 solid organ transplants annually. The Transplant Center is known for its innovative approach to patient care, pioneering transplant research, and post-graduate education opportunities. A team of specialists in medical and surgical disciplines, including nursing, psychology, social work, respiratory/physical/occupational therapy, pharmacy, and nutrition, supports the transplant programs. 

Mayo Clinic has expanded and changed in many ways, but our values remain true to the vision of our founders. Our primary value - the needs of the patient come first - guides our plans and decisions as we create the health care of the future. Join us and you'll find a culture of teamwork, professionalism and mutual respect and most importantly, a life-changing career.  #AZlungtransplant
