Hematology Oncology Program Manager Jobs Salisbury NC

The Department of Veterans Affairs is hiring a physician to run its hematology and oncology program in Salisbury, North Carolina, at $350,000 to $400,000 a year. The role sits at the WG Bill Hefner Salisbury VA Medical Center, and it suits a board-certified hematologist oncologist who wants to lead a program, not only run a clinic.

This is a leadership role across three sites of care: Salisbury, Charlotte, and Kernersville. You will serve as Director for Infusion Services, supervise the oncology navigation core, and act as Chief when the Section Chief is on leave. You will also lead a team of 15 provider full-time equivalents and supervise trainees.

The posting was published November 12, 2026, and it closes December 14, 2026. Recruitment and relocation incentives may be authorized, and the Education Debt Reduction Program offers up to $200,000 in student loan repayment. For scale, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the 2025 median pay for physicians and surgeons at $275,930 a year, so the VA band here sits above the national median.

Who should apply and who should wait

Apply when you are a board-certified or board-eligible hematologist oncologist with program leadership experience and you want to run a three-site VA program. The role suits someone who likes building standard processes across sites and leading a provider team. For example, a section lead or infusion director at a cancer center will fit the role fast.

Wait when you want pure clinical work with no management load. This role is program management, infusion direction, and acting chief duty on top of clinical care. Waiting also makes sense when you do not hold United States citizenship and cannot meet the license and residency requirements, because the announcement considers non-citizens only when no qualified United States citizens apply.

Mistakes that cost applicants the role

The most common error is applying as if this were a staff physician posting. The program manager runs infusion services across three sites and supervises the navigation core, so the application has to show leadership. A second error is ignoring the three-site scope. Salisbury, Charlotte, and Kernersville are all in the role, and the infusion processes have to be standardized across them.

A third error is missing the faculty appointment. The role carries a faculty appointment at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, so teaching and supervision of trainees are part of the job, not an extra. Show that work in the application, because the posting lists it directly.

How to apply

Apply on the USAJOBS posting for this role, job number 892713400, control number CBTA-13113784-27-ACW, and confirm the current status before you apply. The posting closes December 14, 2026, and applications must arrive by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on that date.

Your application should show board certification or eligibility in hematology and medical oncology, plus leadership work such as running a service, leading quality improvement, or supervising a team. Name the programs you led and the size of the team, because the posting screens for program leadership, not only clinical skill. In fact, a purely clinical resume will not show the leadership this role is built around.
