Oncologist Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a oncologist in Wisconsin?
To practice as an oncologist in Wisconsin, you must hold an active medical license issued by the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board, which requires completing medical school, residency, and an oncology fellowship, then passing the USMLE or COMLEX licensing exams. After licensure, most Wisconsin employers require board certification through ABIM, ABR, or the relevant subspecialty board. Fellowship training at a Wisconsin institution such as UW School of Medicine and Public Health can strengthen your candidacy with in-state employers.
How much do oncologists make in Wisconsin?
Oncologists in Wisconsin earn a median of about $104,330 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $72,240 for the lowest 10% to over $149,430 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire oncologists in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin oncologist roles are posted by University of Wisconsin–Madison, Ascension, and SSM Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Wisconsin's largest health systems, including integrated academic and community networks, account for the majority of posted positions across the state.
Which Wisconsin cities have the most oncologist jobs?
Madison, Milwaukee, and Racine are the Wisconsin cities with the most oncologist openings. Milwaukee leads because of the concentration of large health systems and the presence of Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin, while Madison draws openings through UW Health and its affiliated cancer research programs, and Green Bay reflects growing regional cancer center investment in northeastern Wisconsin.
Are there remote oncologist jobs in Wisconsin?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of oncologist openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, which reflects the hands-on, patient-facing nature of most oncology practice. The parts of the role most suited to remote work are telehealth follow-up consultations, tumor board participation, and second-opinion reviews rather than primary treatment delivery.
How can I get hired as a oncologist in Wisconsin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a fellowship at a Wisconsin academic program, which frequently leads directly to an attending offer within the same system. UW Health and Froedtert Health both run ACGME-accredited oncology fellowship programs that feed their own hiring pipelines. Candidates transitioning from internal medicine or hematology can pursue lateral moves into hematology-oncology hospitalist or inpatient consult roles. Obtaining board eligibility and an active Wisconsin license before completing training gives candidates a measurable edge when openings post.
Where can I find and apply to oncologist jobs in Wisconsin?
