Job description
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 13-15 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
We're looking for a physician who values compassionate care, collaboration, and long-term patient relationships.
The ideal candidate will be:
* Board Certified or Board Eligible in Hematology and Oncology
* Committed to evidence-based, patient-centered cancer care
* Collaborative and team-oriented
* An excellent communicator with patients, families, and colleagues
* Interested in contributing to the continued growth of cancer services in Western North Carolina
Both experienced physicians and physicians completing fellowship are encouraged to consider the opportunity.
Compensation & Benefits
Your career should support your life as well as your professional goals.
UNC Health Blue Ridge offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package that includes:
* Competitive compensation
* Relocation assistance
* Full professional liability coverage
* Short- and long-term disability insurance
* 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
* Exploring Linville Gorge , widely known as the "Grand Canyon of the East"
* Hiking the trails, waterfalls, and mountain streams of South Mountains State Park
* Cycling, mountain biking, camping, and year-round outdoor recreation
* Local arts, live music, festivals, and community events
* Local wineries, breweries, restaurants, and shops
* The connection and pace of life that come with a welcoming Western North Carolina community
It's a place where an extraordinary professional opportunity can coexist with a life outside of medicine.
Practice Exceptional Cancer Care. Build Meaningful Relationships. Have Time for a Life Outside Medicine.
Come help us continue building exceptional cancer care in Western North Carolina.
