What We Are Looking For

We are specifically seeking an NP with prior outpatient hematology/oncology experience, preferably in a community oncology practice.

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to practice broad-based hematology and oncology in a community setting with continuity of care and a close working relationship with the oncologist. The position offers exposure to a wide range of malignant and benign hematologic conditions rather than a narrowly subspecialized disease service.

Full-time, outpatient position.

Compensation is competitive and based on prior hematology/oncology experience.
