Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center - Kearney

Nebraska Medicine is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) to join our Hematology & Oncology team at the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center in Kearney. This role supports a complex, high-acuity patient population within a large academic medical center and requires strong clinical judgment, adaptability, and a high level of compassion and resilience. Experience in oncology or other specialty care is strongly preferred, with priority consideration given to candidates with a clinical background in oncology.

The APP will work closely with a multidisciplinary team in an outpatient setting to provide comprehensive care for patients with a variety of oncologic and hematologic diagnoses.
