- Union position + comprehensive benefits
- Strong support from a multidisciplinary team (clinical + research)

- Partner with primary/secondary attending physicians on evaluation, treatment planning, and follow-up
- Participate in trial visits, including:
- Detailed documentation
- Adverse event grading
- Ongoing clinical assessment and care coordination
- Coordinate with research staff (coordinators/regulatory) to support:
- Protocol adherence
- Data quality and integrity
- Smooth execution from screening through treatment
What we’re looking for
- Active NYS PA license/registration
- 1+ year oncology experience (comfortable managing complex cases)

- Collaborative, organized, team-first approach
- Spanish-speaking a plus
