Hematologist/Oncologist

Job Description:

Hematologist/Oncologist at Mount Auburn Hospital – Cambridge, MA

Mount Auburn Hospital is seeking a dedicated and collegial Hematologist/Medical Oncologist to join its Division of Hematology/Oncology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a physician who enjoys the breadth and variety of general hematology and oncology, values meaningful long-term relationships with patients, and wants to practice sophisticated, evidence-based medicine in a welcoming community hospital with strong academic connections.

 

Located along the Charles River, minutes from Harvard Square, Mount Auburn Hospital combines the personalized care and collegial atmosphere of a community hospital with the intellectual stimulation and resources of a Harvard Medical School teaching institution.

 

The Opportunity

The successful candidate will join an established multidisciplinary oncology team caring for patients with a wide range of solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, and benign hematologic disorders.

 

The position offers the opportunity to maintain a broad general practice while developing particular expertise in one or more disease areas based on individual interests and the needs of the community.

 

Responsibilities and opportunities include:

• Providing comprehensive outpatient hematology and oncology care, including diagnosis, treatment, surveillance, and survivorship.
• Participating in inpatient hematology/oncology consultations.
• Collaborating with experienced oncology nurse practitioners, infusion nurses, nurse navigators, pharmacists, and other dedicated clinical professionals.
• Participating in multidisciplinary tumor boards and working closely with specialists in surgery, radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, and medical genetics.
• Working with an on-site chemotherapy and infusion program to deliver coordinated, patient-centered cancer care.
• Collaborating with academic oncology colleagues, including opportunities for interaction with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the evolving Beth Israel Deaconess–Dana-Farber relationship.
• Teaching and mentoring medical students and residents in a Harvard-affiliated clinical environment.

Why Mount Auburn?

The best of community and academic medicine. Practice in a setting where physicians know their patients, develop lasting relationships, and exercise broad clinical judgment, while benefiting from connections to leading academic institutions.

A diverse and stimulating clinical practice. Treat a wide spectrum of hematologic and oncologic conditions, including complex and interesting cases, without being limited to a single disease specialty.

A genuinely collaborative environment. Work alongside an established team of physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, and multidisciplinary specialists who share a commitment to clinical excellence and compassionate care.

Academic engagement without a research-intensive career requirement. Participate in medical education and interdisciplinary clinical discussions while focusing primarily on excellent patient care. Eligible physicians may receive a Harvard Medical School faculty appointment commensurate with their experience and qualifications.

An exceptional location. Cambridge offers the intellectual and cultural energy of Harvard and MIT, a thriving biomedical community, distinctive neighborhoods, and convenient access to Boston and the broader New England region.

 

Qualifications

• Three or more years of independent clinical practice preferred, but not required.
• MD or DO degree, or equivalent recognized medical qualification.
• Completion of an accredited fellowship in Hematology/Oncology.
• Board certification or board eligibility in Hematology and Medical Oncology.
• Eligibility for an unrestricted Massachusetts medical license.
• A strong commitment to compassionate, high-quality, evidence-based patient care.
