Job description

Medical Oncologist

Medical Oncology opportunity in Mission, KS

Schedule: Full-Time

Why Join [1] Mission Veterinary Emergency & Specialty

Since 1993, Mission has been built on one promise: to show up for referring veterinarians, their clients, and their pets. We’ve kept that promise, and it’s made us one of the most respected specialty hospitals in the state. Our ECC, internal medicine, and surgery teams work closely so cases move smoothly between services. Every decision starts with what’s best for the patient.

Teaching is part of our culture. We run rotating and surgical internship programs with weekly radiology rounds, daily ICU rounds, and formal case presentations, and our interns go on to private practice and residencies. We’re looking for a Medical Oncologist to help grow a hospital where people like working together and practice a high level of medicine.

Inside our 22,000 sq. ft. facility you’ll find a fully equipped ICU with cage-side oxygen and suction, oxygen cages, full monitoring, a ventilator, a dedicated ultrasound for AFAST, infusion pumps, defibrillation and pacing capabilities, and dedicated ICU nursing staff.

As part of Ethos, your voice, growth, and expertise truly matter.

Location Highlight

Mission is in the Kansas City metro, so you get a friendly, close-knit suburb with big-city amenities 15 minutes away. You’re close to the city’s famous barbecue, its jazz scene, pro sports, and miles of parks and trails, and the cost of living is very affordable.

Perks & Benefits

Benefits for this role may include health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement benefits, paid time off (including sick leave and vacation), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance.

• Competitive compensation
• Sign-on or relocation assistance
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• CE allowance and professional development support
• Paid time off
• Retirement savings options
• Employee assistance programs

In your day-to-day, you will:

• Manage oncology cases in close collaboration with internal medicine, surgery, and critical care
• Oversee chemotherapy protocols and ensure compliance with USP 800 safety standards
• Support daily client and RDVM communication, including treatment updates, refills, and question triage
• Mentor chemo-trained technicians, assistants, and support staff, and contribute to intern education
• Pursue growth opportunities such as ultrasound training, ECT training, or clinical trial coordination
• Work closely with veterinarians, technicians, and support teams to provide seamless, compassionate patient care
• Communicate clearly and empathetically with pet owners during stressful and emotional situations
• Contribute to a positive, team-focused hospital culture built on collaboration, mentorship, and continuous learning

What You Bring
