The Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center currently seeks applications from board-certified or board-eligible medical oncologists/hematologists for a medical director role based at Cooley-Dickinson Hospital, a full service MGH-affiliate community hospital in beautiful Western Massachusetts, an hour and a half from Boston.

From a patient care perspective, candidates should be caring, compassionate, willing to involve patients and families in the decision-making process, and able to coordinate care with colleagues in various departments. A specific clinical interest in Breast, Lung, Gynecologic, Genitourinary, or Colorectal Cancer would be of particular interest.

From an administrative perspective, candidates must be motivated to work with leadership teams in the community and on the Boston campus to lead the development of the cancer program at Cooley-Dickinson Hospital. Previous experience in development of a program or service line is preferred.  An entrepreneurial approach to the development and future growth of a cancer practice is a must.   

Physicians with Massachusetts licensure preferred.
