  • Retirement: Competitive retirement package to secure your future.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a compassionate and skilled Advanced Practice Provider (APP)—either a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant—with a strong interest in breast and gynecologic oncology to join our dynamic multidisciplinary team. This role offers the opportunity to work alongside six dedicated oncologists, two experienced APPs, and a collaborative care team including social workers, nurses, and support staff.

The APP will play a vital role in delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care across the continuum—from diagnosis through treatment and survivorship. This is an excellent opportunity for a provider who thrives in a team-based environment and is passionate about oncology care.

Key Responsibilities

Provide direct patient care in collaboration with oncologists, including assessments, treatment planning, and follow-up.

  • Manage oncology-related symptoms and treatment side effects.
  • Participate in multidisciplinary tumor boards and care planning meetings.
  • Educate patients and families on diagnosis, treatment options, and supportive care.
  • Coordinate care with internal and external providers, including surgical and radiation oncology.
  • Contribute to quality improvement initiatives and clinical research as appropriate.

During the selection process you may participate in an OnDemand (pre-recorded) interview that you can complete at your convenience. During the OnDemand interview, a question will appear on your screen, and you will have time to consider each question before responding.

You will have the opportunity to re-record your answer to each question – Mayo Clinic will only see the final recording. The complete interview will be reviewed by a Mayo Clinic staff member and you will be notified of next steps.

New Grads will not be considered at this time. Minimum of 2+ years of NPPA experience in Oncology.

Nurse Practitioner: Masters-prepared graduate of an accredited school of nursing and Nurse Practitioner program. Current AZ RN and APRN license and certification as a FNP or AGPCNP.
