LOCUM

MALIGNANT HEMATOLOGY, APP POSITION

WALKER FAMILY CANCER CENTRE & NIAGARA HEALTH

Niagara Health seeks a highly motivated physician with a passion for providing the highest quality care to join the Department of Oncology on a locum tenens coverage from November 3, 2025 to October 30, 2026 to fill a current COMET APP 0.75 FTE position. Remuneration is per COMET locum coverage benefits plus shadow billings.

The successful candidate would join a team of twelve other medical oncologists and malignant hematologists along with five radiation oncologists, three benign hematologists, and four palliative and supportive care physicians.

Walker Family Cancer Centre provides comprehensive cancer care in a modern facility integrated into a full-service hospital in St. Catharines. The Cancer Centre has strong working relationships with the Juravinski Cancer Centre in Hamilton across the spectrum of disease sites.

Opportunities would also exist for seeing benign hematology patients in a shared, subsidized outpatient office, and participation in the ambulatory and inpatient Thrombosis Service on a fee-for-service basis.

On-call responsibilities would consist of inpatient rounding and admissions from Emergency on a schedule shared with twelve other oncologists, and new patient consults one day each week. There would be no requirement for General Medicine call. An oncology hospitalist is MRP for patients on the Oncology Inpatient Service on weekdays.

Opportunities would exist for teaching of medical students and residents, and for participation in clinical trials.
