Nationally Ranked Cancer Program Experiencing Significant Expansion - Breast Medical Oncologists

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute expanded in December 2014 to become the 3rd largest cancer hospital in the U.S.  The extraordinary success of this 21-story, 398-bed state-of-the-art hospital has resulted in remarkable clinical growth and has created several opportunities for medical oncologists across the spectrum of solid tumor subspecialties. The Ohio State University is currently seeking oncology physicians at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor rank for a variety of roles in the areas of basic and translational research, education, and inpatient and outpatient care.  High priority searches at this time are those who desire to focus their research and patient care in Breast Cancer.
