Cancer care depends on more than treatment alone. It depends on exceptional coordination, seamless communication, and ensuring every patient has access to the right care at the right time. As an Oncology Enhanced Scheduler, you will play a vital role in helping patients navigate their cancer journey while supporting a highly specialized oncology care team. 

This position offers the opportunity to become an essential member of UVA Health's oncology access team, coordinating complex appointments across multiple specialties and treatment services. Working in a fast-paced, patient-centered environment, you will help improve access to care, support treatment planning, and contribute directly to the experience of patients receiving life-changing oncology services. 

The Role 

The Oncology Enhanced Scheduler serves as a centralized scheduling expert supporting oncology patients across the continuum of care. This role requires strong organizational skills, advanced scheduling knowledge, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate effectively with both patients and multidisciplinary clinical teams.
