Job Description

• Carle Cancer Institute, home of Mills Breast Cancer Institute in Urbana, is excited to add a breast surgical oncologist to their team. The candidate should have experience with a broad range of breast surgery for benign and malignant breast conditions and, when occasionally necessary, assist the oncology team in Urbana with rare excisional nodal biopsies for other malignancies, feeding tube placement, and port line placement for chemotherapy administration.

• The candidate will enjoy a very generous compensation package in a stable, vertically integrated Carle Health System while practicing in a multi-disciplinary setting with a dedicated breast team and breast cancer navigator. The health system has over 17,000 employees across several hospitals, covering a population of about 2.5 million people. The candidate would participate in our weekly breast tumor board at Carle Cancer Institute in Urbana and have strong support from Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, and Plastic Surgery.

• Carle Cancer Institute has strong clinical cancer research with an NCORP Grant from the National Cancer Institute and currently has over 100 open clinical trials.

• Carle is at the forefront of technological advances in medicine and surgery through its collaboration with the Carle Illinois College of Medicine, the world's first fully accredited engineering-based medical school leading the world in the integration of AI, data science, and global health medical innovation. These technological advances have already found their way into daily clinical practice such as AI-generated note-taking and virtual organ modeling for surgical planning.

• The ideal candidate would be a general surgeon with a surgical oncology fellowship or a general surgeon currently in practice with breast surgery being at least 50% of their current practice volume and have excellent interpersonal skills for program building. For fellowship-trained candidates, both candidates with experience and new graduates are very welcome to apply.

• The position will include dedicated time for teaching CI COM medical students and General Surgery Residents at Carle's General Surgery Residency Program. For candidates with a strong academic background, a 0.2 FTE of protected research/academic time would be available.
