Address
Form of workBC/BE Medical Oncologist/Hematologist wanted to join our academic group of 8 physicians, 6 fellows and 1 nurse practitioner located in North Philadelphia with satellite sites in Northeast Philadelphia and Montgomery County. We are part of a large teaching hospital, with resident and fellowship training programs and three dedicated cancer centers. Our practice provides treatment and consultation for more than 2,000 newly diagnosed oncology patients yearly. Our mission is to provide excellent patient care, conduct relevant clinical research, foster continuing education and bring evidence-based treatment to the communities that we serve.
Individual patient care is coordinated through our multidisciplinary disease-specific programs. We also provide general hematology services for inpatients and outpatients. In 2010 we were selected to participate in the National Cancer Institute's Community Cancer Centers Program, one of only 30 such programs in the country. Hundreds of classical hematology cases are seen annually on the inpatient and outpatient services. There is a wide range of complexity of diagnoses that is intellectually stimulating and allow for interactions with other specialties and hematopathology. Ample opportunity to educate residents, students, and fellows regarding the various classical hematologic conditions.
In 2016 our practice was selected by CMS to participate in the Oncology Care Model, designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of evidence-based oncology care delivery. Our patients are seen in modern facilities where they receive care from certified oncology nurses and receive pastoral, psychosocial, nutritional support, financial counseling and navigation services.
Our oncology programs have been continuously certified by the American College of Surgeons, our radiation oncology program by the American College of Radiology, and our breast cancer program by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Cancers.
Our clinical research programs include those sponsored by NRG, ECOG and industry. We have been members of the Jefferson Cancer Network since its inception and received JCN clinical trials awards. In 2009 and 2013 our practice received the ASCO clinical trials participation award. Our Hematology / Oncology fellowship program is fully accredited by the ACGME. Many of our physicians have consistently received Philadelphia Magazine's Top Doc awards across all cancer services.
We seek an energetic, motivated individual with strong clinical skills who seeks to join a program with great potential for continued growth.
