VP, Radiation Oncology

Why Join Us? 

SunState Medical Specialists (SMS) is proud to be a part of OneOncology in delivering exceptional, community-based specialty care across Florida. With a team of 105 physicians spanning urology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, breast surgery, general surgery, and head and neck surgery, SMS is committed to providing high-quality, accessible care. Our practice continues to expand services by offering advanced radiation therapies, in-house pharmacy and laboratory capabilities, care management, theranostics, cutting-edge diagnostic imaging, and clinical research. We are dedicated to recruiting top-tier physicians to help increase access to affordable, high-quality care throughout the state.

The Vice President, Radiation Oncology leads the SunState Medical Specialists (SMS) radiation oncology service line: approximately 25 radiation oncologists across 25 treatment centers in Florida. Reporting to the CEO, the VP is

accountable for site management, operational performance, service line enhancement, physician recruitment strategy, EMR utilization, and support radiation oncology best practices.

Above all, the VP earns the trust of SMS radiation oncologists through genuine, lasting relationships, and uses that trust to unite every center into one unified SMS radiation oncology practice. Center managers report through regional/area managers, who report to the VP. The VP partners with central SMS teams and is accountable for results without direct P&L ownership.
