You will step into a vital new position as a surgical oncologist, created to meet the growing need for specialized cancer care in this thriving regional hub. This opportunity places you at the forefront of oncology services, joining an established multidisciplinary program where patient demand is strong and immediate. Rather than replacing a departing physician, this role represents a strategic investment to strengthen oncology care for the community.
The local hospital system serves a broad and diverse patient population with increasing oncology needs. After the recent departure of a surgical oncologist from the market, there is a clear void and a strong referral base ready to support your practice. You will be welcomed as a much-needed specialist, with access to tumor boards, oncology nurse navigators, and a network of surgeons and medical oncologists eager to collaborate. Your presence will make an immediate impact on patient care, allowing more individuals to receive complex surgical cancer treatment close to home.
Your practice will be based within the hospital system, fully integrated with its accredited cancer program. While your core focus will be surgical oncology, you will also have the flexibility to incorporate general surgery as desired. This adaptability allows you to shape your practice in line with your professional passions and community needs. Leadership values innovation and will support you in carving out a practice that reflects both your expertise and career goals.
