About The Position

Beacon Children’s Hospital Pediatric Hematology Oncology is seeking a full-time BC/BE Pediatric Hematologist/Oncologist to join our premier practice in South Bend, Indiana. Our position provides a great opportunity to contribute to the clinical program development and provide clinical care to children in a medically underserved area. Beacon’s Pediatric Hematology/Oncology program provides comprehensive care for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults with a wide range of blood disorders and cancers. The oncology service actively manages 30–40 patients at any given time, while also supporting a large population of patients who are off therapy. Additionally, this group receives approximately 200 new hematology referrals annually and provides ongoing care for around 80 children with sickle cell disease, in addition to many others with chronic benign hematologic disorders. The physicians work in the outpatient clinic and cover an inpatient service, along with support from a strong pediatric hospitalist team. Call is shared equally among the physicians. Affiliation with Indiana University School of Medicine at Notre Dame and Memorial Hospital Family Medicine Residency allows for teaching of residents, medical students and supervision of post-graduate trainees. The program has a strong working relationship with regional academic centers and collaborates with these centers frequently when caring for patients. We provide an opportunity to participate in limited medical student/resident education and clinical research.
