About The Position

Sky Lakes Medical Center is seeking a compassionate, skilled Radiation Oncologist to lead its established radiation oncology service at Sky Lakes Cancer Treatment Center. The physician will practice as the sole employed Radiation Oncologist, partnering directly with an experienced dual-discipline oncology Advanced Practice Provider and a dedicated interdisciplinary team. The role offers clinical independence and influence over clinical workflows, service-line growth, and strategic planning in a community-owned health system serving Klamath County and surrounding communities.

Clinic hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Friday departure is midday as scheduling permits. Clinical weekends and holidays are not required. The practice is outpatient-focused, with hospitalists managing all inpatient admissions and rounding. Specialty physicians designate eight call days per month, including one weekend.

The physician will have support from an experienced RO/MO APP, Medical Physicist, Certified Medical Dosimetrist, four Radiation Therapists, CT/Simulation Tech, RO RN Navigator, and Certified Medical Assistant, as well as broader cancer-center staff.

The center uses an Elekta Infinity Linac and Philips Big Bore CT Simulator and provides IMRT, IGRT, SBRT, and LDRT for malignant and benign conditions. Additional therapies and procedures include Pluvicto, Xofigo, ultrasound-guided SpaceOAR hydrogel placement, and oropharyngeal scopes. Team coordination includes weekly radiation oncology chart rounds, weekly joint care conferences with Medical Oncology, and monthly multidisciplinary Tumor Boards.
