United States onlyOverview
Dartmouth Health’s Department of Radiology is seeking fully Remote Teleradiologists (FL, CT, MA, NH, VT, ME) including generalists and subspecialists, to join our growing practice. Full and part time options exist. Fully remote teleradiologists have no on-site responsibilities, though they are valued members of our department helping us cover multiple Dartmouth Health facilities located throughout New Hampshire and Vermont.
Dartmouth Radiology is a leading, nationally known radiology enterprise covering all modalities and all radiology subspecialties. Our department provides coverage for all settings, including outpatient examinations from many sites, acute care imaging, and referral center level advanced imaging.
Position Summary
Dartmouth Health is seeking generalists and subspecialists to join the department as remote readers. We are able to employ radiologists from Florida, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. We welcome applicants who are able to read all or multiple modalities/body systems in a generalist capability (which would involve no procedures and no mammography). And we are also able to hire remote readers with a subspeciality expertise in one or a limited number of areas, depending on our needs and the candidate’s area(s) of focus. Ultimately, the services offered (generalist, generalist excluding some areas, or subspecialist) will be mutually determined prior to interviewing.
Though Dartmouth radiology is home to outstanding training programs, remote radiologists do not have direct educational responsibilities. We do welcome candidates who are interested in occasionally lecturing or other engagements with our educational mission, though participation in entirely voluntary without any core expectations built into the role. Remote radiologists do not routinely read out radiology residents, though limited resident interaction is possible.
Our remote radiology team is not expected to participate in research or other scholarly activities, though again, we welcome candidates who may have targeted interested and we aim to be supportive of candidate’s professional interests. Promotion in the clinical track does not require scholarly output and, again, there are no academic requirements built into the remote radiology role.
Remote readers will be assigned a home section, either one with other remote readers, or possibly a subspeciality section, depending on the candidate’s expertise/interests. All remote radiologists will be full members of the Department as well as valued W-2 employees of Dartmouth Health. Remote readers are provided a Dartmouth owned reading station with a full suite of our standard PACS software.
Compensation
Remote radiologists are W-2 benefited employees who are compensated via our productivity-based Radiology Compensation plan. The plan offers a competitive guaranteed starting salary with opportunity for productivity incentives in addition to base.
All remote radiologists receive employer-provided retirement contributions, including a generous matching program, which are in addition to one’s salary. Medical malpractice is provided. There is a generous health insurance option specifically for remote employees.
Our faculty are encouraged to participate in continuing education, national societies, and professional development organizations, depending on the faculty’s interest and needs. We support these efforts with institutional funds allocated to each faculty member.
Schedule
Given remote radiology compensation is driven by productivity rather than hours work, we offer a variety of flexible schedules, which are driven by clinical needs and mutual selection. Full time roles do have a substantial component that are scheduled shifts assigned to defined reading lists, though full time roles can have a component that is more flexible allowing for off hours or add-on shifts (analogous to internal moonlighting). Part times roles can be a mixture of scheduled and/or flexible shifts depending on Area of practice and need. For full time, or near full time roles, weekly schedules can be 4 or 5 days work weeks (with compensation in either schedule ultimately being driven by productivity). Generally, 4-day work weeks are sufficient to achieve a highly competitive salary, and 5-day work weeks generally will result in well-above-average salaries for individuals working at a standard pace.
Clinical Excellence
The Department prides itself on high-quality, efficient, modern imaging and very much prizes our clinical service and the care provided to our patients. Remote readers will have an essential role in contributing to our core clinical mission. We value the engagement of all radiologists on our team, including remote radiologist, in our robust peer learning program and all quality systems. We value input on the imaging provided and clinical services rendered.
The Department values patient-centered care and a highly collaborative, respectful, caring, and engaging work environment. We value remote radiologists’ contributions to our positive and caring culture. There is a strong working relationship with other Departments, and all referrers.
Benefits:
- Market leading, highly competitive salaries.
