Our program is growing — and we’re looking for a physician who’s ready to help shape the future of palliative care at UW.

The Division of Hematology, Medical Oncology & Palliative Care is seeking a full-time, board-certified/board-eligible Hospice & Palliative Medicine physician to deliver expert in-person outpatient palliative care at the UW Carbone Cancer Center.

In this role, you’ll support a broad adult patient population, including:
• Individuals with solid and hematologic malignancies
• Patients receiving chemo/immunotherapy
• Those undergoing advanced treatments such as CAR-T and stem cell transplant
• A smaller cohort with other life-limiting conditions related to end-organ failure

In 2025, our interdisciplinary palliative care team (physicians, APPs, nurses, social workers, chaplains) transitioned into a new, large multispecialty clinic. This position will take the lead in rebuilding and strengthening our original ambulatory palliative care clinic at the University Hospital location.

If you’re a mission-driven palliative care physician who wants to build, influence, and elevate palliative care services in an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, we’d love to connect.
