Summary The Department of Medicine, Section of Hematology and Oncology, at Baylor College of Medicine is recruiting a genitourinary medical oncologist to provide patient-centered multidisciplinary care and serve as an active clinical investigator at the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center's McNair Campus. Initial faculty assignment (for the first two years) will include 80% clinical effort through Baylor Medicine (outpatient clinic and inpatient rounding) and 20% protected research time for clinical research. At full ramp up, clinical activity would consist of 5-6 half-day clinics per week and 6-8 weeks of inpatient service at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, with the opportunity to decrease clinical effort with grant funding.
