About Radiology Jobs
According to the AMA, only 1.2% of physicians specialize in radiology (compare that with 16.7% of physicians that practice the specialty of internal medicine). The radiologist is unlike other physicians because diagnoses and interpretations are made from medical images. Images are taken in a variety of ways by using x-rays or with radioactive substances. Some images are produced by sound waves or the body's innate magnetism. Along with the medical image findings, a radiologist correlates them with other tests, and makes recommendations for additional examinations or treatments.(Source: radiologyinfo.com)
Body Imager in NM
The University of New Mexico in Albuquerque is recruiting an additional Body Imager. The radiology department consists of 18 physicians, three of which are Interventional Radiologists and three are Neuroradiologists. The department has its own research and physics staff as well as its own IT and marketing department.
This 401-bed primary teaching facility is the state’s only Level 1 Trauma Center and houses the Regional Burn Center, the UNM Cancer Research and Treatment Center and the Children’s Hospital of New Mexico. A 212,000 sq. ft. Ambulatory Care Center houses more than 60 specialty clinics. The faculty also covers a modern 246-bed VA hospital.
Connected with the hospital is the UNM Health Sciences Center’s Outpatient Surgery and Imaging Center. This 36,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art facility was created to help with the hospitals growing outpatient demands allowing patients to receive imaging services in a timely manner. The center houses CT, MRI, Mammography and US; six operating rooms; the Pain Clinic; 24 prep/recovery bays; support services and office space.
You can expect to perform anywhere from 60-100% in Body Imaging. Additional interest in Cardiac Imaging or Oncologic Imaging would be a plus as they would like to expand these services. In addition to the clinical responsibilities there are resident and fellow teaching requirements for all faculty and include 6 lectures per year.
Call is shared equally and is taken approximately 4-5 weeks per year. Night call is taken by the residents with a faculty member assigned each morning to review and sign off on overnight cases. Weekend call does not exceed 18 hours of daytime work and call backs are infrequent. IR and Neuro have their own call pool.
Benefits include: malpractice coverage; family health; dental; vision; AD&D; life insurance; LTD; Long term care; basic life insurance; term life insurance; CME stipend; 4 weeks vacation time plus an additional week off for the winter holidays and New Years. There are additional days off granted for various holidays and presentations.
