Community Division Radiologist

Job Summary

The Department of Radiology offers a unique opportunity for a Community Division Radiologist to join a collegiate group of 25+ sub-specialized radiologists, who represent the community arm of a large, internationally recognized academic radiology department. This group provides radiology services to UnityPoint Meriter Hospital, a non-profit 448-bed community hospital which provides a complete range of medical and surgical services. Additionally, the Community Radiology Division provides radiology services to the adjacent 1 S. Park Clinic, Eastpark Madison Clinic and several smaller community hospitals in southwestern Wisconsin, both on-site and remotely.

Despite its university affiliation, the division's daily workflow more closely resembles that of a general community practice. In distinction to other community practices, however, this position offers unique access to the benefits of university affiliation and state employment. These include the ability to pursue passions in collaborative research or medical education, if desired. As a public employee, the hired faculty member will participate in the Wisconsin Retirement System which includes pension benefits and malpractice coverage. This position also comes with a competitive salary and generous retirement options.

We have a single PACS system which connects all campuses including the academic department. Fully functional home workstations are also provided, allowing for remote work. Our practice emphasizes the ideals of the American College of Radiology Imaging 3.0 initiative, and candidates should be willing to collaborate with our technologists and providers daily. Occasional travel to outreach hospitals (optional driver service available) would be expected. Candidates would participate in the call pool, equally based on FTE status, including weekends, and overnight call (can be done at home; currently shared by 18 members). The candidate must be able to interpret all modalities including X-Ray, CT, US, MRI as well as perform basic fluoroscopic procedures (joint injections, arthrograms, lumbar punctures).

Full time or part-time (80 - 100%). This position may require some work to be performed in-person, onsite, at a designated campus work location. Some work may be performed remotely at an offsite non-campus work location.

This position has been identified as a position of trust with access to vulnerable populations. The selected candidate will be required to pass an initial caregiver check to be eligible for employment under the Wisconsin Caregiver Law, and every four years.

Applicants for this position will be considered for the following titles: Clinical Assistant Professor (CT), Clinical Associate Professor, Clinical Professor (CT), Assistant Professor (CHS), Associate Professor (CHS) and Professor (CHS). The title is determined by the experience and qualifications of the finalist.
