Description:

Renown Health seeks an innovative and entrepreneurial physician leader to serve as Director of the William N. Pennington Cancer Institute (PCI). This is an exceptional opportunity to lead a high-quality, patient-centered cancer institute through a significant phase of growth, within Nevada’s only not-for-profit, locally governed, integrated, academic health system. The Director will guide PCI's clinical, research, and educational missions in its new affiliation with academic partner University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) and position the Institute for eventual pursuit of NCI designation. Renown Health is an integrated delivery system with 8,000 employees, two acute care hospitals, a children’s hospital, a rehabilitation hospital, a medical group, and Hometown Health, the state’s only locally owned not-for-profit insurance company. The PCI delivers multidisciplinary, patient-centered oncology services across multiple sites and includes 30 physicians, 15 advanced practice providers, 40 infusion chairs, three linear accelerators, and advanced radiation therapy technologies. The Director will provide strategic and operational leadership for PCI, overseeing clinical programs, research initiatives, and faculty development. The successful candidate will bring a record of progressive leadership in cancer care, with experience building integrated multidisciplinary programs and advancing robust research portfolios. An MD/DO degree, completion of a postgraduate medical education in an ACGME-approved residency program with current Board Certification in an oncology specialty, and eligibility for licensure in the State of Nevada is required. The Director will possess an academic track record that merits appointment at the rank of Associate Professor or above at UNR Med.
