About The Position

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center's James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute is one of the nation's leading cancer programs and the only cancer center in the country that combines a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center with a nationally ranked academic medical center on the campus of one of the nation's largest public universities. As one of only a few free-standing cancer hospitals in the United States, The James is dedicated to advancing cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, research, education, and survivorship care through innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
As patient demand continues to grow, The James has made optimizing access and capacity a strategic imperative.
