St. Luke’s Health System’s (SLHS) Cancer Institute in Boise, ID seeks a BC/BE Hematologist/ Oncologist with specific interest in adult hematological malignancies and cell therapy.

Our dedicated heme malignancy and cell therapy program is the only such program in the state of Idaho, and in addition to treating Idaho patients, also treats patients from bordering states such as eastern Oregon, western Montana, Wyoming and north-east Nevada. The program is an NMDP Transplant Center, an NMDP Apheresis Collection Center of Excellence, and is fully FACT accredited, offering all types of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation integrated with a vibrant acute leukemia treatment program. The program further functions as an academic tertiary heme-malignancy and cell therapy program, but officially is non-academic due to having no university affiliated medical school in Idaho.
