Teleradiologist - Emergency Radiologist

Overview

Yale University Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging is looking for radiologists in all specialty areas who excel in high quality clinical imaging interpretation, targeting community and tertiary care patient needs. We are seeking applicants for full-and part- time opportunities, including the possibility of per-diem work. We are looking for exceptional radiologists who value high quality, timely patient care, but also desire flexibility in the timing and location of their shifts. We have multiple openings at this time, inclusive of weekday, evening, weekend, and night work. We have a highly competitive clinical compensation scheme that offers extra compensation (or more free time) for working off-hours or higher volume work. Inclusive of the following sections (most modalities for each section):

• Abdominopelvic imaging
• Musculoskeletal imaging
• Thoracic imaging
• Cardiac/Cardiovascular imaging
• PET/CT imaging
• Emergency/Trauma imaging
• Pediatric Imaging
• Neuro Imaging Off-hours hospitalist imaging (chest and abdominal imaging on inpatients)

In all sections, you would be invited to participate in peer-review conferences, and section meetings. You would not have committee or clinical case conference obligations, although you would be invited to attend at your choice.

Your responsibilities are to the imaging interpretation and will spend de minimis time on non-interpretive work (which will remain at the physical location of the image acquisition). You would not be responsible for resident or medical student teaching, though opportunities to engage in either or both could be made available on a case-by-case basis.

Your effort will be determined on a section-by-section basis, typically defined by a number of cases or coverage of a specific window of time. Individuals may qualify for additional compensation based on interpreting above and beyond thresholds.

Faculty appointment in the voluntary clinical track may be available depending on your prior expertise and experience.
