The UAMS Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute have partnered with Baptist Health Medical Center to actively recruit an outstanding Gynecologic Oncologist to join the current division of three physicians and three nurse practitioners.
UAMS is the only academic medical center in the state and we receive patients from all counties in the state. This outreach allows our physicians to care for a wide array of gynecological cancers. We have a well-established practice with a new phase 1 clinic, cooperative and NRG(GOG) group clinical trial participation, four DaVinci robotic systems with dedicated gynecologic oncology block time and excellent clinical facilities within the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. Multidisciplinary clinicians including radiation oncologists, a subspecialty trained gynecologic pathologist, genetic counselors with onsite testing and palliative care specialists on inpatient and outpatient service complete our team.
At UAMS we have a fully accredited residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology with five residents a year, with plans to move toward a gynecologic oncology fellowship in the future. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to participate in both resident and medical student education. The Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer institute is Arkansas’ only academic cancer treatment and research facility. With the overwhelming support of the State Legislature and the UAMS Chancellor we are well on our way to becoming Arkansas’ first and only cancer center designated by the National Cancer Institute.
Qualified candidates must hold an MD/DO degree from a recognized accredited University (or foreign equivalent) and have completed a gynecologic oncology fellowship program. ABOG Board certified mid-career applicants as well as ABOG Board eligible applicants will be considered. We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, relocation allowance, malpractice insurance and more. Academic rank will be commensurate with experience and productivity.
