Medical Oncologist
The ideal candidate will be a skilled clinician, board certified or board eligible, who has successfully completed a fellowship program in either medical oncology or hematology/oncology.
Duties include:
- Providing services for patients
- Providing ongoing service training of technical staff
- Participating in clinical research and design
- Participating in responding to insurance reimbursement issues
- Maintaining medical records
- Assisting in development of new programs and clinical services
Typically, our physicians see 10 to 15 patients a day. They practice in a truly integrated environment, where the patient will be provided a standard of care, such as protocol chemotherapy with access to a palliative care team, mind-body medicine, strong nutritional support, and spiritual counseling. With a high nurse-to-patient ratio, most of whom have ONS certification, you will have more time to spend with our patient population.
There are opportunities to participate in investigator-initiated clinical trials. Current trials include:
- Biologically based therapies with patient-specific vaccines
- Activated immune cell-based therapies
- Molecular and functional characterization of patient tumor tissue and response
In addition, an extensive portfolio of drug studies is under way.
Our physicians have an onsite office and are assigned an advanced practice nurse to assist in patient management. You will have responsibilities for both inpatient and clinic patients. However, we do have a full-time hospitalist staff that works in conjunction with the oncologists to manage patient outcomes.
We use an Electronic Health Records system at all of our hospitals. With state-of-the-art technologies, including onsite IMRT/PET/CT and TomoTherapy®, you will have the tools you need to best serve our patient population.
