Whether it’s providing essential radiation oncology services in a remote location or supporting an oncology department in a busy city, locum tenens oncologists play a crucial role in ensuring that cancer patients receive the care they need.
As a staffing firm that works exclusively with oncologists, Cancer CarePoint understands the vital contribution locum oncologists make to the healthcare system. That’s why, beginning August 11, we proudly join staffing agencies and healthcare facilities across the country in celebrating National Locum Tenens Week 2025. This week recognizes the thousands of oncologists who provide high-quality, compassionate care across the US each year.
“For those moments when care couldn’t wait, locum tenens oncologists arrive to fill gaps and make sure patient care continues,” said Cancer CarePoint CEO Julie Lux-Smith. “They deliver hope with expertise and grace.”
While locum oncologists are crucial in meeting immediate healthcare needs, their work also provides personal benefits. With 59% of oncologists experiencing burnout, many are turning to locum tenens for the flexibility, autonomy, and higher earning potential it offers. Choosing their own schedules allows oncologists to regain balance in their professional and personal lives while continuing to provide high-quality care.

With our deep expertise in the field, we connect oncologists with opportunities that align with their career goals and personal preferences, ensuring flexibility and work-life balance while maintaining high-quality patient care.
“Every assignment challenges them to adapt,” said Lux Smith. “Every patient inspires them to care. Locum tenens oncologists blend flexibility with excellence in every step of the journey.”
During National Locum Tenens Week, we honor every medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, hematologist, surgical oncologist, and advanced practice provider who ensures communities receive the healthcare they need. We are proud to be your partner in making a difference in the lives of patients nationwide.
Thank you for your heart and your dedication. Together, we’re building stronger, healthier communities, one patient at a time.
