Radiologist - Teleradiology

Teleradiology – Read From Anywhere in the U.S.

The Opportunity
A full-time teleradiology opportunity reading for a well-established Veterans healthcare system in Providence, Rhode Island – performed 100% remotely from anywhere in the United States. Two diagnostic radiologists are needed to cover a Monday–Friday daytime window, and the schedule is genuinely flexible: coverage can be split into staggered eight-hour blocks, built as four ten-hour days, or arranged as full-window days balanced by days off. Physicians who would rather read on site in Providence are welcome to do so, but on-site work is entirely optional.

Why Radiologists Like This Assignment

• Fully remote – no relocation, no commute, no travel requirement.
• Licensed in any U.S. state? You qualify – a single full, unrestricted state license is accepted.
• Daytime reading only. Overnight studies are handled by a separate national teleradiology service.
• Call is optional, not required. For those who want it, call averages about one technologist phone call per week.
• No mammography at this facility.
• Modern imaging: 3T MRI, two 128-slice CT scanners, four ultrasound units, nuclear medicine (SPECT/CT and D-SPECT), general radiology and fluoroscopy, with a new imaging wing and additional MRI, ultrasound, and x-ray equipment coming online.
• Philips Vue PACS; long-term, stable, predictable volume rather than high-burn commercial teleradiology pace.

The Facility
The Providence VA Healthcare System serves more than 35,000 Veterans across Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, providing primary care, specialty medicine, surgery, mental health, and rehabilitation services. The radiology department is staffed by two full-time staff radiologists, three experienced technologists, and a procedural nurse, and is currently expanding with a new imaging wing.

Location – 830 Chalkstone Avenue, Providence, RI 02908 (remote reading; on-site presence optional)
