About Nuclear Medicine Jobs
Nuclear medicine is a subspecialty of radiology. Examinations are made from images of the body and its functions. The images are developed based on the detection of emitted energy from a radioactive material given to patients. It can be given either by injecting it directly into a vein or be given by mouth. For the most part, the amount of radiation to a patient is similar to that of a standard x-ray test.
Generally it takes 20 to 45 minutes to complete the scan. Depending on the type of scan it could be done immediately after the radiopharmaceutical agent is given, a few hours later, or even several days after the injection.(Source: radiologyinfo.com)
A group of 11 radiologists is looking to add an additional radiologist. If you have sub-specialty training in MSK or Neuro, it is a plus. They cover a 280 bed district hospital, a 150 bed county hospital, and a small rural hospital via teleradiology. They own an imaging center with a Siemens Avanto MRI, a Toshiba Aquilion 64-slice helical scanner, as well as four rooms for ultrasound and digital radiography. You can expect around 30-40% in your sub-specialty, if sub-specialty trained. All other diagnostic work is expected with some very basic digital mammo, as they are fully digital. No IR is required. They have McKesson PACS in place covering all the hospitals and outpatient center. Call will be 1-2 weekdays per month and 1:6 weekends. They have a nighthawk in place from 7pm-7am Monday through Sunday. Initial income will be $325K year one, $350K year two and then partnership. Partner's salaries are in excess of $550K. There are bonus distributions given on a regular basis, too. Vacation time is 8 weeks for first two years and then 9 weeks as a partner. Benefits include malpractice coverage, health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, disability and life insurance, a $5K business expense account from day one, 401(K) plan after 6 months, a negotiable relocation package, etc...
