We are seeking a fellowship trained Surgical Oncologist to join our well-established team of thirty surgeons.

  • Our thirty physicians comprise the area’s largest private, independent surgical group
  • Provide services at four of the area’s five hospitals
  • Join an existing and well-established surgical oncology practice
  • Surgical opportunities include pancreas, hepatobiliary, endocrine, colorectal, breast, melanoma and sarcoma
  • Supported by a full time surgicalist program reducing call burden and clinic interruptions
  • Multiple tumor conferences each month across the system
  • Competitive salary, partnership track, group health, dental, life, disability and retirement benefits
  • Annual CME allowance, relocation package
  • Growth and leadership opportunities

This opportunity is located at our Regional Medical Center, the region’s only referral center for stroke, neurosurgery, orthopedics, oncology, cardiology, neurology, surgery, and obstetrics. With a team of 650 physicians in 45 specialties and more than 1,000 nurses, technologists, therapists, pharmacists, and dietitians, we use a multidisciplinary approach to provide comprehensive, individualized patient care. The area’s largest regional cancer program is headquartered on the campus. As a Joint Commission Comprehensive Stroke Center, we offer state-of-the art care that maximizes recovery from stroke. We are the region’s leader in technology in areas such as bariatric surgery, robotic surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery. Our door-to-balloon times for heart attack patients are below the national average, and our hip fracture center offers advanced diagnosis, surgery and recovery procedures for hip patients. We are also home to a Rehabilitation Center, which is nationally recognized for both inpatient and outpatient treatment of stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and orthopedics.

We are a member of the region’s top performing healthcare network with nine acute-care hospitals, outpatient and specialty services, and our area’s fastest-growing physician practice division. Headquartered in Knoxville, we are a community-owned, not-for-profit healthcare system and the area’s largest employer. Our more than 10,000 employees, volunteers, and 1,500 affiliated physicians are dedicated to improving the quality of life for the more than one million patients and families we serve every year. We are the only healthcare system in East Tennessee to be named three years in a row by Forbes as One of America’s Best Employers.

Located on the Tennessee River with the Great Smoky Mountains as a backdrop, Knoxville is an incredible combination of big city excitement and small-town southern charm. Home to the University of Tennessee and a vibrant downtown area with revitalized neighborhoods, Knoxville is a regional hub for nightlife and entertainment, especially in its Old City. Knoxville is also an excellent choice for families, with outstanding public schools and private K-12 schools. Our cost of living is 15% below the national average and Tennessee does not have a state income tax.
