Job Duties

The Department of Radiology offers a unique opportunity for a Community Division Breast Imaging Radiologist to support the Department of Radiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health. Join a collegiate group of 25+ sub-specialized radiologists, who represents the community arm of a large, internationally recognized academic Radiology department. This group provides radiology services to Unity-Point Meriter Hospital; a non-profit 448-bed community hospital which provides a complete range of medical and surgical services to the adjacent 1. S. Park Clinic, Eastpark Madison Clinic and several smaller community hospitals in southwestern Wisconsin, both onsite 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. This includes the ability to pursue passions in collaborative research or medical education, if desired. As a public employee, hired faculty 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 ACR's Imaging 3.0 initiative, and candidates should be willing to collaborate with our technologists and providers daily.

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. Applicants who are interested in pursuing an academic career in the Community Radiology Division will be considered for the titles listed: Clinical Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, Clinical Assistant Professor, Professor (CHS), Associate Professor (CHS) or Assistant Professor (CHS). The title is determined by the experience and qualifications of the finalist.

Key Job Responsibilities

The successful candidate for this position will work closely with ordering providers during both clinical work and multidisciplinary conferences. Collaboration and teamwork are valued qualities in our practice. The duties include:

• Mammography
• Breast ultrasound
• Breast MRI
• Image-guided localizations
• Image-guided biopsies

The successful candidate would spend part of their time working at UW Health Eastpark Medical Center at Integrated Specialty Care for Women working and collaborating with academic breast imagers in addition to residents and fellows. The candidate would practice primarily (greater than 80%) in their subspecialty, with the remaining volume composed primarily of plain films and ultrasound with occasional fluoroscopy, mostly at outreach hospitals. Cross sectional work for this position would be optional depending on the comfort of the candidate. Travel to outreach hospitals (with optional driver service available) to cover mammography service is expected. Candidates would participate in weekend daytime remote coverage of plain films and ultrasound.
