About Ultrasound Jobs
Ultrasound imaging is sometimes referred to as Sonography. It's a process of taking images of the human body by using high-frequency sound waves. Images from reflected echoes are displayed and recorded. No radiation (x-ray) is used during ultrasound.
Ultrasound is an excellent means of investigating many internal organs in the body. The heart, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, and bladder are just a few. One of the benefits of ultrasound is that images are in real time giving Physicians a helpful tool for diagnoses.(Source: radiologyinfo.com)
General Rad ($850K in 1 yr. and 14 Weeks Off)
Reason for this 8-member group's search is related to losing a partner recently that has been with them for several years who is taking a new position in a better climate. This is a real busy, very high income group and he has been a very productive partner over the years. But his departure creates a void in this practice for someone who may be looking for a place to earn in upper 3-4% of radiologists in the U.S. and have a great amount of time off. They earn close to or right at $850K as partners and they have a benefit package on top of that that includes 14 weeks of vacation. They cover multiple hospitals and the closest someone could feasibly live to St. Louis (the closest major city) is 45 minutes to an hour. But it is an excellent opportunity for someone with practice experience who is perhaps already used to doing 25K+ exams per year, but not getting paid as well for it. Clinically, they need a general radiologist able to do everything except high level interventional. If someone does bring angiography skills along with kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty etc. experience they can definitely use them. But it is not a must (beyond biopsy and drainage skills) and they definitely need someone that can read mammography. It is a general practice where everyone pretty much does everything and accommodating someone not willing to do mammography is not really feasible for them. The equipment is good at all of their hospitals and all of their hospitals are now on PACS. So, the efficiency of the practice has improved over the years and their volume is getting easier every year to keep up with. They have had a nighthawk service in place for nearly two years, which makes everything more manageable. The group is 10+ years old and was originally three people trying to cover four hospitals, very brutal. But they have weathered everything very well, recruiting one every other year or so to get to their current size. Losing this current partner comes as a bit of a surprise and finding his replacement is a high priority. They are ready to talk to interested and qualified candidates today that can get an Illinois license and start practicing with them this summer or early fall. Call or email/fax your CV for more details.
