Radiation Oncology - Physician

Overview

Due to program growth, Carle Foundation Hospital is excited to add another Radiation Oncologist to Carle Cancer Institute in Urbana, Illinois. If interested, Radiation Oncologist would have an opportunity to practice both external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy. Training and interest in High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy for gynecological cancers are a plus; however, performing HDR brachytherapy is not required for this position.

The practice has 3 external beam radiation units (Varian True Beam® with micro-MLCs for stereotactic radiation and regular MLCs for conventionally fractionated radiation) and Nucletron HDR Brachytherapy Unit (Flexitron®). Large bore GE CT simulator and PET/CT are available on site.

The practice offers a variety of external beam treatment options: 3D, IMRT with Rapid Arc®, SRS, SRT and SBRT. The practice has active lung SBRT and gynecological HDR brachytherapy programs. EPIC electronic medical record, ARIA radiation oncology record and Eclipse treatment planning software are utilized. Staff includes 2.6 FTE medical physicists, 4 medical dosimetrists, and 8 radiation therapists.

Radiation Oncologist would enjoy a very generous compensation package in a stable, vertically integrated Carle Health System, while practicing in a multi-disciplinary setting with weekly Quality Assurance Radiation Oncology Conference (Chart Round), disease site specific Tumor Boards, and a strong support from Medical Oncology and all Surgical Services. In 2018, Carle and the Univ. of Illinois opened their doors to first medical student class at the new Carle Illinois College of Medicine. Academic appointment will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Teaching medical students and residents is a job expectation.

Carle Cancer Institute has strong clinical cancer research with a National Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and currently > 100 open clinical trials for cancer patients in East Central Illinois. For candidates with a strong academic background, a research component will be considered.

About Our Community

Champaign-Urbana has been defined as a micro-urban community, meaning we have many of the amenities of a much bigger city, with the feel of a smaller town. About 2.5 hours from Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis for fun weekends away, the area offers excellent schools, a great downtown scene, the University of Illinois, Big 10 sports and an exciting college town atmosphere, including Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.
