Sarasota, Florida
Sarasota Memorial First Physicians Group is a successful, multi-specialty group with 700 physicians and Advanced Practice Providers and a 32-year history in the Sarasota community. We are seeking to employ a BE/BC Gynecologist Oncologist to join an award-winning hospital and employed physician group in Sarasota, Florida.

The system's flagship 897-bed campus, Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Sarasota, has been consistently recognized as one of the nation’s best hospitals. A regional referral center providing the greatest depth and breadth of care to the community, the campus also includes state-of-the-art specialized centers of care, including the Brian D. Jellison Cancer Institute Oncology Tower, Rehabilitation Pavilion and recently opened Cornell Behavioral Health Pavilion.

Once completed, the seven-story Outpatient Cancer Pavilion will include a new breast health center, four (4) outpatient surgery suites, radiation oncology, infusion services, diagnostic imaging and integrative and supportive care in addition to physician offices.
