1 Locum Tenens Jobs in Hawaii
Start: ASAP
Type: Locum Tenens
Shift: Days - 5 x 8 hours
Locum Physician (MD/DO) - Hematology and Oncology in Hawaii - Schedule Monday–Friday, 8 hours/day. No overtime, no call, no consults. Setting Outpatient cancer center / infusion. 6 chairs today, expanding to 12. Duration Long-term locum; physicians here typically stay 1–3 years . Immediate start needed (pending contracting). Credentialing Hawaii “island time”: plan 2.5–3 weeks (vs. 3–4 days mainland) * The permanent seat has gone unfilled for 2.5+ years — no candidate willing to relocate to the island — so this is a sustained, recurring locum need with patients currently waiting for care. * Strong, experienced nursing support on site (several nurses with 20+ years at the clinic). The role is well-supported and stable rather than high-acuity. Responsibilities * Oversee and manage outpatient chemotherapy / infusion treatments. * Provide consistent physician presence through the middle of patients’ treatment plans — continuity of care matters here. * Work alongside the established nursing team in a structured outpatient day. Ideal Candidate — Screening & Fit (read before sourcing) * Temperament is the make-or-break screen. This is an outpatient infusion setting, not level-one trauma. Past placements who came from high-acuity / trauma backgrounds have struggled. Screen for physicians who are comfortable sitting with patients, listening, and providing a calm, reassuring presence. * Oncologists are often not motivated by rate — they tend to be loyal to an existing patient panel and reluctant to leave. Prioritize candidates who are between practices, semi-retired, adventure/locale-motivated, or genuinely open to island relocation. * Confirm willingness to relocate to a remote part of the island and live there for multi-week rotations — set this expectation early to avoid late-stage fallout. Requirements * Board-certified / board-eligible Hematology-Oncology (MD/DO). * Active Hawaii license, or willing to obtain (factor licensing + island-time credentialing into start timeline). * Clean background; comfortable with outpatient infusion oncology.
