Job Description

The Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine is looking for a veterinary radiologist who loves the clinical challenge of interpreting complex cases and the intellectual satisfaction of sharing that process with others. Whether you prefer to work on-site, remotely, or in a hybrid capacity, you will be part of a supportive, collaborative community dedicated to clinical excellence, teaching, and discovery. We are seeking a colleague whose clinical expertise is matched by an eagerness to teach and inspire, or one who thrives in a fast-paced academic hospital environment, enjoys working closely with other specialists, and finds fulfillment in guiding the next generation of veterinarians. In our Veterinary Teaching Hospital you get to choose elements of private practice and academia, flexible FTE and work schedule and you decide where you want to live!

In-person radiologists will have the excellent opportunity to develop a rewarding career in a supportive, collaborative, multi-specialty teaching hospital and state-of-the-art Cancer Center (Animal Cancer Care and Research Center). You will join experienced support staff, collegial colleagues and you will be part of an enthusiastic, cohesive, patient-care oriented radiology team composed of 1 ACVR board certified radiologist, one imaging resident, and 4 dedicated imaging technicians. Radiologists working on-site will enjoy a balanced rotation through our core imaging services, including radiograph interpretation, ultrasound, and advanced imaging. Remote-working radiologists will be scheduled on the radiograph interpretation and/or advanced imaging service.

Clinical responsibilities in the Diagnostic Imaging Service of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) will include small and large animal diagnostic radiology and contrast procedures, small animal ultrasonography, CT, MRI, and consultations to VTH faculty/house officers. Some teleradiology duties, mainly from local or referring DVM are performed. Radiologists in these positions will be expected to meet the reading requirements set by the VTH's policies. Interpretation results will be submitted in Keystone. Interpretations should be accurate, thorough, and completed within the turnaround time guidelines established by the VTH. Teaching responsibilities will include providing clinical instruction to interns, residents, and professional students as they rotate through the Diagnostic Imaging service and participation in the Radiology didactic courses. Mentoring responsibilities will include mentoring and training imaging interns and residents. Other job responsibilities include personal development, outreach, and service to the College of Veterinary Medicine and other veterinary-related professional organizations.

The hospital is well equipped with Siemens and Philips DR; Large animal ceiling mounted and mobile x-ray units, a Samsung RS85 Prestige and a Philips IU22 ultrasound units; Philips CombiDiagnost N90 digital fluoroscopy; Canon Aquilion 64 slice CT scanner and on-site Siemens Vida 3.0T MRI.
