Job description
Hematologist/Oncologist UNC Health Blue Ridge
4-Day Workweek. Exceptional Patient Relationships. World-Class Resources. Blue Ridge Mountain Living.
Blue Ridge Cancer Center Valdese, North Carolina
What if you could practice oncology the way you believe it should be practiced, with time for your patients, collaboration when you need it, and a schedule that leaves room for your own life?
Blue Ridge Cancer Center at UNC Health Blue Ridge is seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Hematologist/Oncologist to join our growing cancer program in Valdese, North Carolina.
With a four-day workweek, 98% outpatient practice, manageable daily volume, low call burden, and a comprehensive patient-support team , you can focus on what matters most: your patients.
And you can do it while building a life in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains .
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
A Practice Built Around Patients and Physicians 4-day workweek, Monday through Thursday
98% outpatient practice
Manageable volume of approximately patients per day
Low call burden
24/7 nurse triage support
Opportunities for hybrid flexibility
Hospital-employed through Blue Ridge Medical Group
Practice in the Blue Ridge Cancer Center , which opened in August 2023
Opportunities to participate in Tumor Boards and Cancer Committee activities at UNC Health Blue Ridge and within the UNC Health system
Ability to collaborate on complex cases with cancer specialists across the broader system
Comprehensive Support for Your Patients
Excellent cancer care extends beyond treatment. Our patients have access to supportive services that include: Patient navigation
Cancer support groups
Nutrition counseling and weight management
Confidential spiritual care
Genetic counseling
The result is a more comprehensive approach to supporting patients and their families throughout treatment.
Collaboration Without Leaving Community Medicine Behind
One of the most compelling parts of this opportunity is the ability to practice community-based oncology while maintaining connections across the broader UNC Health system.
You'll have opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary discussions, Tumor Boards, and Cancer Committee activities and to collaborate on challenging cases.
It offers an attractive combination: the relationships and impact of community oncology with access to the resources of a larger health system.
Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be: Board Certified or Board Eligible in Hematology and Oncology

403(b) retirement and savings plan
Comprehensive employee benefits
Live Where Others Come to Get Away
Valdese and the surrounding communities sit in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains , putting you close to some of North Carolina's most beautiful outdoor destinations.
Your time away from the Cancer Center could include: Boating, fishing, swimming, camping, and mountain biking at Lake James
Hiking and waterfalls throughout Pisgah National Forest
