Dartmouth Health Children’s and Dartmouth Cancer Center

The Section of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology at Dartmouth Health Children’s and the Dartmouth Cancer Center seeks an exceptional leader in pediatric hematology-oncology to serve as its next Section Chief. This individual will be expected to be board certified and oversee and develop the clinical and academic missions of the Section, including its educational and research activities, and therefore hold the rank of associate or full professor.

Dartmouth Health Children’s provides an extended system of care with primary, specialty, and advanced tertiary pediatric services, including an inpatient pediatric unit with PICU, level II Pediatric Trauma Center, and level III NICU at its flagship Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD).  Dartmouth Health Children’s also operates a comprehensive ambulatory specialty center at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic in Manchester, the largest city in the state, and 10 pediatric primary care medical homes across the region. Dartmouth Health Children’s is committed to addressing racism and other forms of oppression that prevent all children and adolescents from living their healthiest, happiest lives.

The Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC) is one of only 53 Comprehensive Cancer Centers designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) – and the only one north of Boston and east of Buffalo. DCC is also among the most longstanding NCI-designated centers, having achieved its initial NCI designation in 1978 and its Comprehensive status in 1990. DCC is committed to providing access to research-based, high-quality care, advanced technologies, and clinical trials for patients throughout northern New England.

Dartmouth Cancer Center and Dartmouth Health Children’s are tightly integrated with The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, the 4^th oldest medical school in the United States. An endowed chair in pediatric oncology is available for candidates with the requisite academic portfolio and experience. Collaborative scholarship opportunities across Dartmouth's schools include world-class traditional biomedical research, global health initiatives, and renowned leadership in quality improvement, outcome, and healthcare delivery sciences at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI). DCC members benefit from four existing NIH Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) and recent major investments in Precision Cancer Prevention, Next Generation Immunotherapy, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Dartmouth Innovation Accelerator for Cancer), all catalyzed by the Byrne Family Cancer Research Institute.

Dartmouth Health Children’s and Dartmouth Cancer Center are key components of Dartmouth Health, an integrated academic healthcare delivery system for northern New England anchored by Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) in Lebanon, New Hampshire. DHMC is recognized by US News & World Report as the Best Hospital in NH and is home to over 50 graduate medical education programs, NHs only Level 1 Trauma Center and air ambulance service, TDI, the Norris Cotton Cancer Care Pavilion, and CHaD. Dartmouth Cancer Center and Dartmouth Health Children’s jointly plan to expand services in Manchester to serve the growing population in southern NH.

Faculty at Dartmouth Health enjoy the rare opportunity to combine high level academic medicine with a serene and stress-free living environment. Lebanon is part of the Upper Connecticut River Valley, home to Dartmouth College and its abundant cultural and enrichment activities. Greater Manchester is often ranked among the best small cities in the United States for quality of life. With destinations like Boston, New York, Montreal, the seacoast and ski country within driving distance, this is the ideal place to work, live, and play.
