If you entered oncology to treat patients rather than feed a corporate referral pipeline, your next chapter is here. Sky Lakes Medical Center is seeking a full-time, Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Medical Oncologist or Hematologist-Oncologist to step into an autonomous, regional hub practice. Whether you are an established oncologist seeking true clinical control over your practice or an upcoming fellow eager to learn from a seasoned multidisciplinary team, this position gives you the freedom to build meaningful oncology care without corporate interference. We serve as the sole specialized oncology lifeline across Southern Oregon and Northern California, and we are actively expanding regional partnerships to broaden clinical reach and access.

Manageable, Relationship-Driven Volume: Focus on patient care with an average of 1215 patients per day. Generous visit lengths: 60 minutes for new consults and 30 minutes for follow-ups.
