- Other Details: The facility which is stroke-certified and trauma level 2 is looking for a provider to cover on-site clinical hours and beeper call if needed. The facility is seeking a Medical Oncologist to provide locum coverage for a primarily outpatient role, Monday through Friday, with hospital call responsibilities. The provider will see approximately 15–20 patients per day, with a mix of hematology and oncology cases (roughly 30% hematology). This position does not require BMT experience, only hematology. The schedule includes two new consults per day (typically 45 minutes) and follow-ups (30 minutes), with documentation done in EPIC. Call responsibilities include both phone and hospital-based coverage, with about 25% of calls related to hematology. Callback volume is low, around 5%.
