About The Position

MaineHealth Cancer Care (MHCC) is seeking hematologist-oncologists with a subspecialty interest in hematology or pure hematologists to join its teams in South Portland and Sanford, Maine. The role offers comprehensive hematology care in a growing, supportive practice with a statewide referral network and a complex mix of malignant and classical hematology cases. The Portland position is part of a progressive hybrid academic-community practice; the Sanford practice is a growing, collaborative group with established referrals and expanding subspecialization.

The role includes a faculty appointment with Tufts University School of Medicine and participation in MaineHealth’s Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program. Interested candidates who meet selection criteria may have the opportunity for protected academic time. Clinicians can access research through the NCI Community Oncology Research Program and may participate as a principal investigator or sub-investigator in clinical trials. The system uses ASCO CancerLinQ analytics and EPIC with BEACON for oncology care.

The position is full-time, with four outpatient days and one administrative day per week. The schedule is based in South Portland for two days and includes regional care delivery in Sanford for two days. The Portland role includes an approximately 1:8, week-long call schedule, with rounding at one hospital during the call week and support from inpatient hospitalists and resident house staff. Inpatient care is at Maine Medical Center, which has a designated hematology-oncology floor and capabilities for inpatient induction chemotherapy for AML, ALL, and aggressive lymphomas.

Both locations offer on-site infusion centers and supportive services, including pharmacists, nurse navigators, social workers, palliative care providers, and allied staff. Sanford also has on-site radiation oncology and a modern linear accelerator. The role offers a clinical base salary of $475,000, with potential production and value-based incentives, a location-based stipend, and other compensation components based on eligibility.
