About this role
Starling Oncology is seeking a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join its Tucson clinic and deliver direct patient care within a large, growing oncology network. You'll work in-office as part of a collaborative team, managing cancer patients across the full spectrum of treatment—from initial assessment and diagnostic interpretation to procedure performance, medication management, and ongoing clinical oversight. The role balances autonomy with teamwork; while you'll retain primary responsibility for patient management and make independent clinical decisions, you'll work alongside physicians and other providers, with orders subject to physician review. Day-to-day responsibilities include comprehensive patient interviews and exams, treatment planning, counseling on side effects and preventive care, documentation in the electronic medical record, and procedures such as bone marrow biopsy. Hospital privileges and on-call participation are expected.
The position requires a master's degree and current, unrestricted license as an NP or PA. National certification is mandatory for Nurse Practitioners upon hire. Oncology experience is preferred but not required, making this suitable for providers transitioning into the specialty. Starling Oncology offers a base salary of $120,000 to $180,000 with semi-annual performance bonuses, benefits, and professional development support. If you're drawn to evidence-based cancer care delivered in a community setting and want to grow within a values-driven organization, this role offers both clinical depth and the chance to impact a large patient population across five states.
