You will step into a pivotal role as a Hematologist/Oncologist at the UC Davis Cancer Care Network's Rideout location in Marysville, where your expertise will fill a critical gap in cancer care for the underserved communities of Yuba and Sutter counties. This isn't just another community oncology position—it's an opportunity to become the cornerstone of cancer care for a region that desperately needs your skills, while maintaining the academic rigor and resources of UC Davis Health. Your practice will serve as the primary cancer treatment destination for a vast service area spanning from the agricultural heartland to the Sierra foothills, where patients currently travel significant distances for specialized oncologic care.
The Rideout Cancer Center has emerged as a beacon of hope in this region, providing comprehensive cancer services to a population that has historically faced barriers to accessing specialized care. As you join this established team, you'll inherit a practice that has been carefully cultivated over nearly two decades, with systems and support structures designed to help you focus on what matters most—delivering exceptional patient care without the administrative burdens that plague many oncology practices.
This position represents a unique blend of independence and support, where you'll practice with the clinical autonomy you desire while backed by the full resources of the UC Davis Cancer Care Network. The community has been eagerly awaiting your arrival, as the departure of a longtime provider has created an urgent need for a committed oncologist who can continue the tradition of accessible, compassionate cancer care. The regional CEO and administrative leadership have made oncology services their top priority, evidenced by their significant investments in facility upgrades, technology, and their protective agreements preventing competitor recruitment of their cancer providers.
You'll join a collaborative team that values physician wellbeing as much as patient outcomes. Dr. Hoa Pham Nguyen, who has served as a cornerstone of this program since 2006, leads by example with a philosophy of sustainable practice that has resulted in remarkable provider retention and satisfaction. Unlike the burnout-inducing pace of many metropolitan oncology practices, here you'll find a rhythm that allows you to provide thorough, unhurried care while maintaining your own wellness and family commitments.
The transition into this role has been thoughtfully planned to ensure your success. The existing team, from the experienced nurse practitioner to the dedicated research coordinators, stands ready to support your integration into the practice. They've expressed genuine enthusiasm about welcoming a new physician who can help them continue their mission of bringing university-level cancer care to this underserved region.
Your arrival will not only address an immediate clinical need but will also enable the expansion of services that the community has been requesting. Whether you have interests in developing specific disease-focused clinics, expanding clinical trial offerings, or implementing novel treatment approaches, the leadership has indicated strong support for physician-driven initiatives that enhance the scope and quality of cancer care delivery.
