Job Description

Advanced Multidisciplinary Practice | Fort Wayne, Indiana

Practice advanced breast surgical oncology. Shape the future of a growing program. Enjoy an exceptional quality of life.

Parkview Health is recruiting a fellowship-trained breast surgical oncologist to join its established, NAPBC-accredited breast oncology program at the Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute (PFCI) in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The successful applicant will join 3 established breast surgeons.

Our practice model allows breast surgeons to focus on what they are trained to do best: caring for patients with breast cancer and those requiring surgical evaluation. Surgeons enjoy strong advanced practice provider support in the clinic and the OR. Dedicated APP’s manage benign breast disease, high-risk patients, and routine surveillance, allowing surgeons to concentrate on cancer care, complex clinical decision-making, and operative management. A strength is our combined breast surgery conferences with surgeons and APP’s that review each week’s challenging clinical and potentially operative cases, ensure care is contemporary and ensure all team members practice the most current evidence-based management.

The program treats approximately 600 new breast cancers annually and growing. We offer the resources of a major regional cancer center, are physician led, and value professional growth within a collaborative multidisciplinary environment. The surgeon will have opportunities to contribute to program development, innovation, quality improvement and medical education.

The Opportunity

• 100% breast surgical oncology practice with no general surgery responsibilities or general surgery call.
• Dedicated APP support in the operating room and clinic, nurse navigators, and highly coordinated comprehensive multidisciplinary services on-site including imaging.
• On-site operating rooms equipped with advanced technology, including Clarix intraoperative specimen CT, Hologic Trident specimen imaging, ultrasound, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging and SPY technology.
• Comprehensive oncoplastic and reconstructive surgical services, with employed plastic surgeons and opportunities for advanced oncoplastic training and mentorship.

A Distinctive Academic–Community Practice

The 200,000-square-foot Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute integrates diagnostic imaging, medical and radiation oncology, surgical services, clinical trials, genetics, palliative care, physical therapy, SOZO, and supportive care in a modern, patient-centered facility.

Our breast oncology team includes more than 60 multidisciplinary professionals, including nationally and internationally recognized clinicians and educators engaged in research, teaching, national presentations, and quality improvement.

Parkview’s Mirro Center for Research and Innovation provides infrastructure for research, education, and innovation. Opportunities for resident education, clinical trials, professional society involvement, and scholarly activity are available according to individual interests, without mandatory academic obligations.
