The candidate will be an integral and interactive member of our division and solid tumor section. Responsibilities include clinical care, teaching, and participation in clinical research.

We have active clinical and laboratory research programs in oncology (solid tumors, leukemia/lymphoma,), neuro-oncology, survivorship, hematological disorders, and an active phase I/phase II investigational drug development program. CCBD is an active member of COG, POETIC, TACL, Histiocyte Society and NACHO, offering consortia trials, phase I and II industry-sponsored studies and investigator-initiated trials. Our ACGME approved fellowship program in pediatric hematology/oncology is approved for 3 fellows/year. We also offer a one-year specialty fellowship in Bone Marrow Transplant. CCBD is a designated Center of Excellence at Phoenix Children’s, with two satellite locations, board-certified attending physicians, fellows, advanced practice providers and many dedicated support staff including social workers, nutritionists, child life specialists, psychologists, mental health therapists, CRA’s and research nurses. Phoenix Children’s is one of the largest free-standing pediatric hospitals in the nation with 457 licensed beds. We are a comprehensive tertiary and quaternary care center that also serves as a primary pediatric teaching facility for medical students from the University of Arizona, Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, and Creighton University.
