Florida Nuclear Medicine Job

Reason for this seven-member group's search is related to the fact that they took over a nearby hospital contract in the fall of 2006 and recently merged with another area hospital from which at least one radiologist will retire. They need 1-2 additional full-time radiologists to help them staff all of their current potential needs. Clinically, they need good all around general radiologists able to do everything including MRI, CT, US, mammo, fluoro, nuclear medicine, plain films and only light interventional procedures (biopsies and drainages).  If someone wanted to do some basic angiography, PICC lines, etc. there are probably some special procedures to do, but they aren't looking for those skills over the need for someone with all of the imaging abilities.  Those are the main growth areas of all four of their hospitals.

PACS went live late last year in the hospital they took over in 2006 and will soon be in place at their other two St. Pete hospitals.  It is already in place at the hospital with which they merged.  The core group could not be more stable.  They have been together since 1973 and were three radiologists for many years before taking on a fourth partner in 2003.  It was a result of their volume growing to the point to where they had to have another person to keep pace with their growth and the excellent reputation they have forged for themselves over the decades is part of what has enabled them to land these third and fourth hospitals. The group says that the payer mix at this new hospital is actually a little better than where their two hospitals are located and, as result, the practice will do a little better annually.  So, currently it's a six-person group with three hospitals, soon to be a eight or nine-member group covering four hospitals.  Two of the  group's rads do all of the interventional work and they would probably do anything invasive or emergent that would come up over night.  So, to be able to live on the beach in a beautiful suburb of the Tampa-St. Pete metro area with lots of growth going on including tons of new restaurants, stores, malls, real estate development and to be in stable, equitable group with nothing but long-term intentions for anyone they hire is a deal someone should consider if the Gulf Coast of Florida is where they are looking to go.  There is no buy-in to the practice and it's simply a group needing stable, board certified radiologists that can help them staff an additional hospital starting this summer (or sooner) continuing on hopefully 10-15 years from now.  It is a fantastic opportunity with a very nice group of people that probably won't last long.
