Job description

Due to growth and alignment with institutional commitment to well-being of the faculty, the Section of Pediatric Interventional Radiology at Phoenix Children's is recruiting a full-time pediatric interventional radiologist.

The Section performs over 7500 image-guided procedures per year and is currently staffed by 4 dedicated pediatric interventional radiologists. IR physicians, inpatient/outpatient services, and clinics are supported by 5 IR APPs and a Care Navigator. We perform a vast array of interventions, including but not limited to vascular access, treatment of vascular malformations, hepatobiliary procedures, enteral procedures, musculoskeletal procedures, angiography, embolization, and DVT/PE lysis. Additionally, we have a dedicated pediatric neurointerventional radiologist. The Section has a long and rich history of sharing our clinical excellence with internal and external teaching. We participate in numerous multispecialty programs at Phoenix Children’s, including a vascular anomalies clinic. Phoenix Children’s has many centers of excellence, including the Heart Center, Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders, and Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s. Additionally, we have active solid organ and bone marrow transplant programs.

The IR department currently includes two Philips DSA rooms (one with biplane), dedicated ultrasound in each room, an IR-only pre-procedure area, and a consult room. Expansion with an additional biplane DSA room is expected in 2027. There is a separate minor procedures room that is equipped to handle low-complexity procedures. Subspecialized pediatric anesthesiologists provide anesthesia services. There is a strong working relationship between the IR nurses, technologists, and physicians.

The Division of Radiology consists of 31 full-time radiologists subspecialized into Body, Neuro and IR sections. Participation in research is encouraged and supported by a radiation physicist/imaging scientist and a dedicated research coordinator. Radiology faculty are eligible to hold appointments to the University of Arizona College of Medicine (Phoenix), Mayo Clinic, and Creighton University School of Medicine (Phoenix). An active program of teaching and research includes 3 ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology fellow positions, 2 additional non-accredited fellow positions (Neuro and PIR) as well as fellows, residents, and medical students from affiliated radiology programs.

Phoenix Children's main campus is a freestanding 533-bed Level 1 children’s hospital and is the largest pediatric facility in the Southwest USA.
