Open Opportunities

At Oregon Oncology Specialists, we take care of people.  The Advanced Practice Provider (APP- Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) is crucial to this mission because we drive exceptional clinical practice. We do this by understanding the community’s’ clinical needs, collaborating with our physician partners, and upholding the organization’s goal of improving patient outcomes and developing clinical programs.

The APP is key to Oregon Oncology Specialists’ success because they provide high-level patient care as a part of the clinical team. In coordination with and in support of our Physicians, an Advanced Practice Provider provides direct patient care, including evaluating and examining patients, managing patients who are undergoing treatment, and monitoring patients after treatment is complete.

We are seeking a highly skilled and compassionate APP to join our oncology team. The APP will work collaboratively with the supervising oncologist seeing patients in a shared visit model. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong clinical expertise in oncology, excellent communication skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
