About SSM Health:

Saint Louis University and SSM Health invite a talented and passionate Gynecologic Oncologist to join our well-established and growing academic practice in St. Louis. This is a compelling opportunity to combine high-impact clinical care, academic engagement, and meaningful research within a collaborative environment where your work truly changes lives.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

Our Gynecologic Oncology program is experiencing significant growth , serving a broad regional referral base across Southern Missouri and Southern Illinois . You will join a dedicated team of four gynecologic oncologists and an experienced Nurse Practitioner , providing care primarily at SSM Health St. Mary's and SSM Health DePaul Hospitals .

We care for a largely underserved patient population , offering you the opportunity to make a profound and lasting impact while helping expand access to high-quality gynecologic cancer care across the region.

Academic Excellence & Collaboration:

As a faculty member of the Saint Louis University School of Medicine , you will be part of a department deeply committed to education, research, and innovation . The department supports an Ob/Gyn residency program and a Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) fellowship , creating rich opportunities for teaching, mentorship, and scholarly collaboration.

All faculty participate in a balanced academic mission that integrates clinical care, education, and research , with support to develop your academic interests and career trajectory.

A Department with a Legacy and a Vision:

Founded in 1836, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Saint Louis University has a long and distinguished history of excellence. Over the decades, it has grown into a comprehensive, multidisciplinary department featuring nationally respected subspecialty divisions, including Maternal Fetal Medicine, Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, Urogynecology, Reproductive Endocrinology, and Gynecologic Oncology.

The Gynecologic Oncology division has been a cornerstone of the department for more than 40 years , reflecting a sustained commitment to advancing women's cancer care through innovation, expertise, and compassion.

Supportive Practice & Lifestyle Balance:

• Attractive 2-year guarantee
• Favorable call schedule of 1:5
• Strong infrastructure and collegial culture that supports professional growth and work-life balance

Join a team that values collaboration, excellence, and purpose and be part of something truly meaningful.
