Gynecologic Oncology Opportunity
AdventHealth Kansas City | Shawnee Mission, KS
AdventHealth in Kansas City is seeking a Gyn Oncologist to join one of the Midwest’s most established and respected Gyn Oncology programs. While we are looking for a physician with experience, recent fellows are also encouraged to apply. This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-functioning, growth-oriented practice with immediate patient volume, strong academic partnerships, and expanding research initiatives.
This role is ideal for a physician seeking: a high-volume, established practice with immediate impact; access to clinical trials and academic collaboration; a collegial, stable team environment; the ability to contribute to a growing, regionally dominant program.
A Program Built for Growth and Excellence
Join a team with a longstanding reputation for delivering high-quality, patient-centered oncology care across Kansas and Missouri. Patients travel from across the region—including rural communities—to access this program, reinforcing its role as a regional referral destination.
With continued growth and program expansion, this position offers both stability and opportunity to shape the future of the practice. This is also an opportunity to practice at one location, AdventHealth Shawnee Mission.
Why This Opportunity Stands Apart
Immediate Practice – No Ramp-Up Required
Step into a well-established patient base with strong referral patterns. This is not a startup opportunity—physicians are busy from day one with a consistent surgical volume.

Collegial, Physician-Led Culture
This group is known for its supportive and collaborative environment, with physicians who have remained in the practice long-term. The culture emphasizes teamwork, mentorship, and shared commitment to excellence, creating a truly unique professional environment.
