The Department of Veterans Affairs is hiring a hematology and oncology physician in Rolla, Missouri, at $350,000 a year. The role sits at the Harry S Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital Rolla clinic, and it suits a hematologist oncologist who wants a full clinic plus inpatient consult work in a smaller VA setting.
This is a consultative role with real breadth. You will run the outpatient hematology and oncology clinic, take inpatient consultations, and coordinate multidisciplinary care with Primary Care and other services. You will also sit on the Cancer Committee and the Tumor Board, and oversee Nurse Practitioners in the clinic.
The posting was published October 27, 2026, and it closes January 8, 2027. The Education Debt Reduction Program is authorized, though recruitment and relocation incentives are not authorized for this posting. For scale, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the 2025 median pay for physicians and surgeons at $275,930 a year, so the VA figure here sits above the national median.
