Job description

About the facility

This chemotherapy and infusion clinic provides outpatient oncology services within a structured on-site setting. The facility is staffed by a clinic RN, two medical assistants, two front office staff, three infusion RNs, and one nurse practitioner to support coordinated patient care delivery. Established clinical protocols are in place to facilitate quality oncologic and hematologic care throughout the covered assignment period.

About the facility location

Northern California offers clinicians on assignment access to a range of natural, cultural, and recreational attractions suited to varied interests. The region provides proximity to landmarks such as Stanford University, the Golden Gate Bridge, Napa Valley, and Yosemite Valley, all within reasonable driving distance. Coastal destinations including Glass Beach, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, and the Skunk Train complement opportunities for hiking, biking, and exploring wineries and vineyards. Redwood forests, scenic ocean beaches, and mountain destinations such as Lake Tahoe further define the area's varied outdoor offerings for clinicians during time away from clinical responsibilities.

About the clinician's workday

Clinicians will provide on-site outpatient chemotherapy and infusion services on a day shift schedule, functioning as the solo physician clinician for the clinic setting. A nurse practitioner is available to assist with patient flow, orders, and related clinical tasks throughout the assignment. Call coverage is required and is structured as remote call; no hospital oncology inpatient services are required, and the clinician may coordinate directly with the emergency room physician or hospitalist for any admissions as needed. Board certification in Hematology/Oncology is negotiable for this locum tenens engagement, and an active state medical license is required.
