Physician, Clinical Genomics - Roswell Park | Be the first and light the path

The new Department of Clinical Genomics at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is a novel and innovative cancer-risk medical specialty home to diagnose and provide ongoing precision care for patients and families at high risk of cancer because of their genetics or family history. Our Genetic Counseling service offers genetic counseling and testing. Our Genetic Medicine service oversees and coordinates the medical management of our patients and families, including the latest surveillance and prevention options.

​

Our team currently consists of a physician, two advanced practice providers, three board-certified genetic counselors, and excellent support staff. We are rapidly growing.

​

The Department of Clinical Genomics is seeking a full-time BC/BE MD, MD/PhD, or DO who has completed ACGME-approved residency training in Med/Peds, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Pediatrics to join our dynamic team. Experience caring for cancer patients or with cancer genetics is a plus but is not required, as is 3+ years post-specialty training as an independent practitioner.

​

Reporting to Kenan Onel, MD, PhD, the successful candidate will serve as a key driver of precision prevention and wellness for high-risk patients and families. The candidate will oversee and coordinate ongoing care for both children and adults, taking advantage of the many high-risk specialty clinics at Roswell Park. They will drive clinical innovation, optimize patient care, and enhance the center’s reputation as a global leader in cancer risk. There are ample opportunities for professional development and leadership in our Department, such as leading clinical trials, mentoring of students, residents, and fellows, and academic clinical/translational research. Clinical cancer genetics is a fast paced and rapidly evolving field, with plenty of room for growth. It is an excellent opportunity to make a name for yourself.

About Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has served its community for more than 125 years with care characterized by its compassion, innovation and effectiveness.

Founded in 1898 and operating from a 28-acre campus on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC) near downtown Buffalo, New York, Roswell Park today remains the only comprehensive cancer center designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Upstate New York, and one of only four NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in all of New York. In the past year, Roswell Park teams cared for more than 52,000 patients. Roswell Park helps set international standards in cancer care through its role as a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and consistently earns patient-satisfaction scores that are among the highest in the country.

The work of the Roswell Park team encompasses many different disciplines and approaches, all rooted in some aspect of how cancer affects our lives — and in how a solution today can lessen that impact tomorrow. Roswell Park has been credited with establishing the model for today’s multidisciplinary approach to cancer care. The interface of scientific inquiry and clinical application affords patients access to promising breakthroughs in cancer diagnostics, technologies and therapies. We also educate the next generation of cancer experts, with hundreds of learners coming to us each year for enrichment or education opportunities ranging from shadow days and internships to clinical training, fellowships and graduate degree programs in cancer science.
