About this role
Starling Oncology is building its hematology-oncology presence in Tucson and seeking a board-certified or board-eligible physician to join an established community practice. You'd deliver cancer care in a clinic-based setting supported by dedicated clinical staff, on-site infusion services, and multidisciplinary tumor boards—all designed to let you practice at the top of your license without the administrative overhead of larger academic systems. The role includes shared call coverage (every fourth weekend) and access to clinical trials and research opportunities if you're interested in that direction.
Compensation starts at $500,000 with a $100,000 sign-on bonus, and the wRVU incentive model is structured to reward both productivity and quality outcomes; established physicians typically reach $650,000+ in total cash compensation. Beyond income, Starling covers malpractice, CME, relocation assistance, and state licensing fees. The organization explicitly offers pathways to medical director and clinical leadership roles, appealing to physicians who want growth opportunities without academic bureaucracy.
Tucson itself presents practical advantages: lower cost of living than major metros, favorable Arizona tax treatment, proximity to the University of Arizona Medical Center for collaboration, and year-round outdoor recreation. If you're drawn to community oncology, predictable income, and the chance to build a patient base in a growing market while maintaining work-life balance, this is worth exploring.
