Entry Level Oncologist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level oncologist job?
Entry level oncologist positions typically require a completed residency in internal medicine or a related specialty, with fellowship training in oncology being the strongest differentiator at this stage. Candidates who have hands-on experience from rotations, research publications, or tumor board participation stand out. Tailoring your application to highlight clinical volume, cancer case experience, and board certification status gives you a clear edge over other new graduates.
Which companies hire entry level oncologists?
Companies hiring entry level oncologists right now include OneOncology, CommonSpirit Health, and Ethos Veterinary Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, you will find openings across health systems, academic medical centers, community cancer centers, and multispecialty physician groups that are actively building or expanding their oncology departments.
Are there remote entry level oncologist jobs?
Yes, though most oncologist roles require in-person patient care, a portion do include remote or hybrid components such as telemedicine consultations and virtual tumor boards. About 1% of entry level oncologist openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with those arrangements most common at large health networks and telehealth-integrated practices.
Are these new grad oncologist jobs?
Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior oncologist roles alongside broader entry level listings. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of post-fellowship experience, accepts candidates who are board-eligible rather than board-certified, or explicitly values internship rotations and training-program experience over an established clinical history.
