Description

If you entered radiation oncology to practice meaningful, patient-first medicine in a place where your expertise truly guides care and you are empowered to make the clinic your own, your next chapter is here.

Sky Lakes Medical Center is seeking a compassionate, skilled Radiation Oncologist to step into a thriving, highly respected turnkey practice at Sky Lakes Cancer Treatment Center. As our sole Radiation Oncologist partnered directly with an experienced oncology Advanced Practice Provider (APP) and a dedicated interdisciplinary staff, you will enjoy genuine clinical independence, leadership influence, and the unwavering stability of an award-winning, community-owned health system. Here, you will deliver vital oncology care to Klamath County and surrounding communities while enjoying a predictable schedule and an extraordinary mountain lifestyle.

The Practice: Clinical Freedom, Advanced Technology & Sustainable Pacing

• Make the Practice Yours: Lead our radiation oncology service with genuine autonomy. You will have a direct seat at the table in clinical workflows, service line growth, and strategic planning without layers of corporate oversight.
• Sustainable Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a structured 4-day clinical schedule paired with 1 dedicated administrative day on-site. Clinic hours run Monday–Thursday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM with midday departure on Fridays as scheduling permits. No clinical weekends or holidays required.
• Turnkey, Dedicated Support Team: Work alongside an experienced dual-discipline APP (RO & MO), dedicated Medical Physicist, Certified Medical Dosimetrist, 4 Radiation Therapists, CT/Sim Tech, dedicated RO RN Navigator, and Certified Medical Assistant. Our broader center includes rotating Medical Oncologists, permanent NPs, 6 patient navigators, a social worker, cancer registrar, and full scheduling/authorization teams.
• Built-In Peer Network & Coverage: Enjoy peace of mind with 4 established Radiation Oncologists (contract and agency) providing dependable PTO coverage, peer consultation, and remote Tumor Board collaboration.
• Generous Visit Lengths & Manageable Pacing: Protect time for deep doctor-patient relationships with 60-minute new consults and 30-minute follow-ups. Typical monthly volumes average ~22 new consults, ~75 office visits, ~60 on-treatment visits, and 21–25 simulations.
• Comprehensive Procedural Scope & Modern Equipment: Elekta Infinity Linac, Philips Big Bore CT Simulator, IMRT, IGRT, SBRT, and LDRT for malignant and benign conditions. Broad therapies include Pluvicto and Xofigo, SpaceOAR hydrogel placement (ultrasound-guided), and oropharyngeal scopes.
• Inpatient & Call Structure: Outpatient-focused practice. Inpatient admissions and rounding are 100% managed by the hospitalist service (inpatient rounding is not required). Specialty physicians designate their 8 call days per month (including 1 weekend). Calls are pre-screened 24/7/365 by an external RN triage service (Conduit Health Partners), resulting in a very low physician call volume of ~5 calls per month.

At Sky Lakes Cancer Treatment Center, our care delivery is rooted in respect, integrity, and kindness. We operate on the foundational belief that staff satisfaction, mutual respect, and work-life balance directly translate into better patient outcomes and satisfied families:

• Close-Knit Multidisciplinary Community: Experience a warm, family-like environment where every team member is valued. Multidisciplinary coordination is reinforced through weekly RO chart rounds, weekly joint care conferences with Medical Oncology, and monthly multidisciplinary Tumor Boards.
• Comprehensive Supportive Care: We surround our patients with total-person care, including oncology navigation, patient support groups, nutrition education, and foundation-funded programs such as complimentary wig and certified mastectomy fittings by a licensed cosmetologist.
• Profound Community Impact: As the primary oncology anchor for Klamath County, you aren't just an anonymous clinician—you are caring for neighbors, friends, and community members who depend on our center for life-saving care close to home.
• Sign-On Incentive: $100,000 sign-on bonus.
• Comprehensive Health & Welfare: Top-tier medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents, plus generous employer retirement contributions and substantial paid time off.
• Relocation Assistance: Robust moving allowance to ensure a seamless transition to Southern Oregon.
• CME Funding & Days: Dedicated annual continuing medical education financial allowance and paid educational leave.
• Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF): Sky Lakes is an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) hospital; full-time physicians qualify for federal PSLF.
• Visa Sponsorship: Fully supportive of J-1 and H-1B visa holders.

Qualifications

• Licensure & Credentials: MD or DO; Board Certified or Board Eligible in Radiation Oncology; eligible for or possessing an active, unrestricted Oregon medical license.
• Experience Level: Experienced Radiation Oncologists are preferred to lead this autonomous service line; however, dynamic, highly trained, and motivated new graduates with strong clinical acumen and team-oriented communication skills are warmly welcomed to apply.
• Community Alignment: A genuine desire to practice high-impact rural healthcare, build collaborative relationships across departments, and actively engage in our vibrant Southern Oregon community.
