Interventional Radiologist

Patients arrive when imaging must become treatment. You will use image-guided procedures to stop bleeding, open vessels, drain collections, and deliver targeted therapy—often the same day a diagnosis is made. Success is measured in safer recoveries, fewer open surgeries, and care teams that trust your judgment when minutes matter.

Performance Objectives

• Complete a full procedural schedule of image-guided interventions with complication rates at or below peer benchmarks.
• Convert urgent consults into timely procedures, reducing door-to-treatment time for bleeding, ischemia, and sepsis pathways.
• Select the least invasive effective approach and document why it improves recovery, length of stay, or avoidance of open surgery.
• Lead multidisciplinary case review so oncology, vascular, and surgical plans include a clear interventional option when appropriate.
• Standardize peri-procedural protocols that cut repeat imaging, contrast waste, and preventable cancellations.
• Mentor residents, advanced practice providers, and technologists so complex cases run safely without sole dependence on one physician.
• Report outcomes quarterly—volume, success, complications, and follow-up—and close gaps with concrete practice changes.

Environment & Resources

You will practice in a high-volume angiography and interventional suite with CT and ultrasound guidance, modern inventory, and dedicated technologists and nursing. You report to the imaging service medical director and partner daily with surgery, critical care, and oncology. Protected time covers clinic follow-up, quality review, and on-call recovery. Capital and supply decisions are tied to procedure volume and published outcomes, not preference alone.

Essential Qualifications

• Board certification or eligibility in diagnostic radiology with interventional radiology fellowship training, or equivalent IR/DR pathway.
• Active medical license and ability to obtain hospital privileges for the full procedural scope of the service.
• Independent competence in vascular and nonvascular interventions commonly required for emergency and elective care.
• Documented experience managing complications, radiation dose, and contrast risk in high-acuity patients.
• Clear communication with referring clinicians and patients about benefits, alternatives, and expected recovery.
• Willingness to share call and to teach within a collaborative imaging department.

Role Selling Points

• Procedures that change the care plan the same day, not a backlog of interpretive reads.
• Real authority over protocols, inventory, and how urgent cases are prioritized.
• A team built around the suite—nursing, technologists, and anesthesia support—not a solo operator model.
• Outcomes you can see: fewer open operations, shorter stays, and patients who leave with a plan, not only a report.
