- Consult with internal and external sub-specialists (e.g, surgical and radiation oncology, palliative care, primary care, rehab, GI).
- Lead multidisciplinary tumor board discussions.
- Communicate recommendations clearly to patients and local care teams.

Care Team Collaboration

- Work closely with oncology nurses and advanced practice providers, care advocates, dietitians, mental health professionals, primary care and other clinical team members.
- Participate in care team reviews and contribute to coordinated care plans.

Clinical Leadership & Oversight

- Oversee care delivery by employed and contracted oncologists, nurses and advanced practice providers to ensure consistent, timely and high quality patient-centered care.
- Lead development and refinement of clinical protocols, pathways, and best practices for virtual oncology care.

- Drive quality assurance and continuous improvement initiatives, including:
