Position Summary

As a member of the Interprofessional Genitourinary (GU) Radiation Oncology Team, the Nurse Practitioner (NP) functions in an advanced practice role, demonstrating a high level of autonomy and clinical expertise in managing the care and navigation of patients referred to the GU site at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. This role may evolve to include responsibilities across other clinical domains such as brachytherapy, radiotherapy, and systemic therapies—including radionuclide and theranostic approaches—as they relate to GU cancer management.
