Join Carle Health as a BC Hematology/Oncology Physician and step into a high-impact opportunity designed for physicians with at least 3-year post-fellowship experience seeking clinical excellence, multidisciplinary collaboration, leadership role, and meaningful growth within a stable, vertically integrated health system. This role offers the chance to help shape an expanding cancer program while benefiting from strong subspecialty support, academic collaboration, research access, and a highly competitive compensation package. Call schedule is negotiable.

Opportunity Details

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

For established oncologists, this position combines the professional advantages of a growing regional program with the resources of a nationally recognized cancer institute. Highlights include leadership opportunity, access to multidisciplinary tumor boards, collaboration across surgical and radiation oncology, and the ability to engage in academic and clinical research initiatives through Carle's partnership with the University of Illinois.
  • Position will be based in Peoria, Illinois, as we continue to build up our cancer care services in the community and surrounding areas.
  • This role is primarily General Hematology/Oncology, with the option to incorporate subspecialty focus based on the candidate's experience.

  • Practice in Weekly Disease Specific Tumor Boards (Upper GI, Lower GI, Breast, Thoracic, etc.) and strong support from Radiation Oncology and all Surgical Services.
  • We maintain CoC, NAPBC and NAPRC accreditations and a lung interdisciplinary team.
  • Available ancillary support services and oncology infrastructure including CT, MRI, PET/CT, Pathology and full radiation oncology service on site.
  • Opportunity for academic and/or research at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine in Urbana, IL which is a collaboration between Carle and the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Faculty rank commensurate with background and experience (Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor).
  • The Carle Illinois College of Medicine is the nation's first medical school focused at the intersection of healthcare and engineering.
  • Enjoy a generous compensation package at a stable, vertically integrated health system.
  • Successful candidates should have at least three years of post-fellowship experience and leadership interest. Candidates with leadership experience invited to apply as we continue to build upon our nationally recognized cancer care teams throughout the Carle Health system. Prior leadership experience is not required.
  • EPIC electronic medical records, including Beacon module, are utilized.


Leadership Responsibilities:
  • Physician recruitment in hematology/oncology to support the program growth.
  • Strategic and collaborative partnership with physicians and advanced practice providers in other specialties at Carle, and our partnering independent practices in the Peoria area.
  • Identifying the opportunities for program growth and networking.
