Genitourinary Medical Oncologist

Balance of Subspeciality Medical Oncology, income and lifestyle for regional GU cancer care experts with the Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute

There is a rewarding opportunity for Board Eligible/Board Certified Genitourinary Medical Oncologist to join the Parkview Health team and play an essential role in our vision to be the best Regional Cancer Program in the country.  Our recruited physicians will have the opportunity to work in a 200,000 square foot state of the art cancer institute located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Attached to a tertiary regional medical center, our state-of-the-art facility opened its doors in June 2018. Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute serves the oncology needs for the Parkview Health system – a 2 billion dollar+ not for profit, multihospital health system with oncology cases coming to the institute for specialty cancer care.  New fellowship grads and established physicians are welcomed.

We have a novel clinical model which allows for disease site based management.  We combined our specialists into clinics based on diseases and wrapped the treatments in concierge level care with world class supportive services.  Our breast cancer patients have a robust supportive care program to optimize their cancer care journey – from screening to survivorship.

Our institute enhances clinical care by incorporating a multidisciplinary approach to genitourinary cancer care involving subspecialized GU medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, urologists and other specialties. We also have a robust research infrastructure and teaching opportunities with medical students and residents through our GME program if there is interest. 

The cancer institute serves as a tertiary care referral center. Connections to industry for trials and opportunities for cooperative and investigator initiated research are available and encouraged if there is an interest.  We have had approximately 8% of patients on trial. 

We have a subspecialized innovative model that centers around the disease and patient.  The Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute takes pride in cutting edge clinical care and optimal patient experience.  All patients are reviewed at our multidisciplinary Tumor Board, and supported by a robust navigation and supportive care infrastructure.

The clinical model involves working in multi-specialty tumor site teams out of our Breast oncology clinic in our state of the art institute, and predominantly outpatient practice with limited call at a single tertiary hospital.  An excellent blend of compensation, sub-specialization and lifestyle.

Our physician-led institute, serving northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio population, empowers our patients and their families to get multi-disciplinary treatment they desire in one single location. We are looking to incorporate new candidates if they are a correct fit.  We have had the opportunity to be highly selective.  We are looking for physicians who are focused on high quality subspecialized patient care, looking to establish their long-term career, and can become regional experts.

 The Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute is a COC accredited comprehensive community cancer center with multiple subspecialty accreditations.

As an employed physician of Parkview Health, you may receive an excellent salary package beyond other tertiary centers.  The benefit program provides a comprehensive array of benefits and services to employed physicians, including, but not limited to, highly competitive salaries plus annual incentive compensation opportunity, commencement bonus, student loan assistance up to $150k, paid relocation, paid malpractice insurance, match retirement contribution plan, flexible spending accounts, health insurance, life insurance, long and short term disability, dues, licensure & memberships, annual physician allowance (for CME’s and other qualified expenses) as well as many other non-traditional benefits.
