Job description

We are seeking a locum tenens provider for full-time coverage through the end of 2027, with the potential for an extension beyond this period.

This Hematology/Oncology locum position is characterized by a unique need for continuity of care.

The ideal candidate will be able to commit to a full-time schedule of four weeks per month and participate in a shared call rotation. Maintaining a single primary oncologist is essential for ensuring continuity of care, enhancing treatment coordination, and fostering a stronger doctor-patient relationship—all of which contribute to improved outcomes and a higher quality of life for patients undergoing cancer treatment.

Therefore, splitting the assignment between multiple providers is not permissible.

The clinic operates on a 4-day work week from 8 AM to 5 PM, with one hour allocated for an unpaid lunch.

The locum provider will have Mondays off. Weekend on-call duties are scheduled from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 7 AM, with a rotation system in place among providers and backup coverage by Advanced Practice Providers (APPs).

The clinic sees an average of 18-20 patients per day, with a case mix of approximately 35% Hematology and 65% Oncology.

Reid Team Structure:

• 2 Oncologists
• 4 APPs

The APPs primarily manage the Hematology patient load, while the oncologists focus on Cancer patients. Each oncologist currently handles 18-20 patients per day, and the APPs see between 14-18 patients daily.

Candidate Requirements:

• Active Indiana State License or IMLC
• Board Certification in both Hematology and Oncology
• A minimum of 2 years of experience preferred
• Flu vaccination required or an approved medical or religious exemption
• BLS certification from AHA required for all specialties

We invite qualified candidates who meet these specifications to consider this opportunity.
