Job description

Cleveland Clinic is seeking a Board Certified Thoracic Radiologist to serve as Imaging Director of Lung Cancer Screening within the Department of Radiology.

This leadership opportunity is ideal for a candidate with experience in lung cancer screening programs and familiarity with relevant imaging software platforms. The position includes both clinical responsibilities as a Thoracic Radiologist and can include dedicated administrative time to support the leadership functions of the role.

Over 2.2 million radiological examinations are performed annually across the Cleveland Clinic health system. At our main campus, the Department of Radiology is committed to subspecialty care, with more than 170,000 chest imaging exams performed each year, including nearly 20,000 thoracic CT studies and approximately 5,000 lung cancer screening exams, as well as several hundred chest biopsies. The opportunity to participate in cardiovascular imaging and percutaneous procedures is available to interested individuals. The department is supported by a wide complement of state-of-the-art MRI and CT scanners. All chest radiographs are acquired digitally, and all imaging is reviewed on PACS workstations.

The Thoracic Imaging section includes a thoracic and cardiac imaging fellowship program, as well as a fully accredited Diagnostic Radiology residency program with a total of 32 residents. There is also a 5-year Integrated Interventional/Diagnostic Radiology residency with two residents per year. A one-month medical student clerkship is offered, and approximately 50 medical students rotate through the department each year.
