The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria is recruiting a gynecologic oncologist to join our team of academic physicians.

We are located in Peoria, Illinois – a mid-sized Midwestern city where you can enjoy all the urban amenities, minus the traffic. Peoria boasts a vibrant arts scene, minor league baseball and hockey, the largest park district in Illinois, a regional airport with 11 direct destinations, several miles of walking/biking paths, two symphony orchestras, a large civic arena with national touring Broadway musicals and concerts, and a low cost of living. The Peoria metro area is home to 375,000 people, and 170 miles from both downtown Chicago and St. Louis.

The University of Illinois System provides a top-tier competitive compensation package with generous paid leave, enrollment in the State University Retirement System pension, and malpractice coverage. Education and career growth is highly encouraged with an annual stipend and paid time off for professional development.

Our physicians practice within two large hospital systems and an outpatient clinic, all located in downtown Peoria. Academic offices are connected to a quaternary care hospital with a Level I Trauma Center, one of the most comprehensive neuroscience centers in the Midwest, a world-class medical simulation center, the largest children’s hospital in downstate Illinois and draws on a patient-base population of over two million people. The opportunity for research includes basic science and translational projects with PhD scientists at the University’s Cancer Research Center.

Our primary affiliate, OSF HealthCare Saint Francis Medical Center, has a full complement of comprehensive radiotherapy and medical oncology services, multiple daVinci Si surgical platforms, and is well-established with long-standing referral patterns. Plans for a new, $237 million multi-disciplinary cancer care center were recently announced.Our goal is to attract world-class faculty to enrich the medical education experience of our enthusiastic and dedicated residents and students.
