Peds Onc Jobs in California

Pediatric oncologists examine patients, order diagnostic tests, make diagnoses and prescribe treatments. They may also counsel patients and their families on how to deal with their illnesses. Pediatric oncologists often head a treatment team, consisting of other physicians and healthcare workers. Since most conduct research and teach in addition to treating patients, they are usually employed by medical schools or hospitals. However, a minority choose to go into private practice.
