Physician - Oncology

Albuquerque, NM 87109

Specialty Oncology
Profession Physician

New Mexico Cancer Center (NMCC) is seeking a Board Eligible/Board Certified Medical Oncologist to join our physician-led, multi-specialty cancer practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career oncologist or graduating fellow who wants to build a practice with the support and mentorship of an established team, rather than stepping directly into an existing physician's large patient panel. With several senior partners anticipating retirement over the coming years, NMCC is intentionally recruiting ahead of those transitions to allow new physicians time to develop their own patient base and grow into community oncology at their own pace.

Why Join New Mexico Cancer Center?

  • 100% physician-owned and independent 
  • Join 8 Medical Oncologists/Hematologists within a multi-specialty, cancer-focused practice.
  • Collaborate with specialists in Radiation Oncology, Breast Surgery, Pulmonary/Critical Care, Palliative Care, Rheumatology, and Neurology.
  • Experienced mentorship for new graduates transitioning into community oncology and growing their own practice.
  • Opportunities to participate substantially in clinical trials, if desired, with participation not required.
  • A strong history of physician and private practice advocacy at the state and national levels, including a partner who has served as President of the American Medical Association.
  • A robust RN-driven triage system helps physicians focus on direct patient care rather than managing inbox volume.
  • Onco EMR and supportive practice infrastructure designed to promote efficient, high-quality patient care.
  • A proven 2-year partnership track, with partner-track physicians receiving the same call and vacation structure as partners.
  • Call is approximately 1:7-1:8.
  • 6 weeks of vacation/PTO for partner-track physicians.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary with bonus structure
  • Partnership opportunity after 2 years
  • 30 days PTO
  • 6 weeks CME

A Practice Designed for Long-Term Growth

NMCC is committed to creating an environment where physicians can develop a rewarding, sustainable career in community oncology. Rather than asking new physicians to immediately inherit a large established panel, the practice's intentional succession planning allows early-career oncologists to gradually build their own patient population while benefiting from experienced colleagues and mentorship.

Physicians are encouraged to shape their practice around their interests, with opportunities for clinical trials, advocacy, and collaboration across multiple specialties.

A Trusted Cancer Program

New Mexico Cancer Center has built a strong reputation for patient-centered, coordinated cancer care throughout the community.

  • Chosen by the community: NMCC has been recognized as a Top Cancer Center in the Albuquerque Journal Reader's Choice Awards.

Live in Albuquerque

Located in sunny Albuquerque, New Mexico, the practice offers an appealing combination of metropolitan amenities and easy access to the outdoors. The Albuquerque metro area has a population of approximately 1 million and offers a vibrant food and arts scene, while the nearby Sandia Mountains provide abundant opportunities for hiking, biking, skiing, and other outdoor recreation without the traffic and congestion of a much larger city.

For physicians with families or planning for children, New Mexico's universal childcare program may provide additional support with childcare costs, regardless of household income.
