Sky Lakes Medical Center is seeking a compassionate, skilled Radiation Oncologist to step into a thriving, highly respected turnkey practice at Sky Lakes Cancer Treatment Center. As our sole Radiation Oncologist partnered directly with an experienced oncology Advanced Practice Provider (APP) and a dedicated interdisciplinary staff, you will enjoy genuine clinical independence, leadership influence, and the unwavering stability of an award-winning, community-owned health system. Here, you will deliver vital oncology care to Klamath County and surrounding communities while enjoying a predictable schedule and an extraordinary mountain lifestyle.
The Practice: Clinical Freedom, Advanced Technology & Sustainable Pacing- Make the Practice Yours: Lead our radiation oncology service with genuine autonomy. You will have a direct seat at the table in clinical workflows, service line growth, and strategic planning without layers of corporate oversight.
- Sustainable Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a structured 4-day clinical schedule paired with 1 dedicated administrative day on-site. Clinic hours run Monday-Thursday 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM with midday departure on Fridays as scheduling permits. No clinical weekends or holidays required.
- Turnkey, Dedicated Support Team: Work alongside an experienced dual-discipline APP (RO & MO), dedicated Medical Physicist, Certified Medical Dosimetrist, 4 Radiation Therapists, CT/Sim Tech, dedicated RO RN Navigator, and Certified Medical Assistant. Our broader center includes rotating Medical Oncologists, permanent NPs, 6 patient navigators, a social worker, cancer registrar, and full scheduling/authorization teams.

- Generous Visit Lengths & Manageable Pacing: Protect time for deep doctor-patient relationships with 60-minute new consults and 30-minute follow-ups. Typical monthly volumes average ~22 new consults, ~75 office visits, ~60 on-treatment visits, and 21-25 simulations.

Specialty physicians designate their 8 call days per month (including 1 weekend). Calls are pre-screened 24/7/365 by an external RN triage service (Conduit Health Partners), resulting in a very low physician call volume of ~5 calls per month.
