Job description

Summary

The CMC Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA seeks a full-time general diagnostic radiologist to join our practice. Responsibilities include general diagnostic radiology of the trunk and extremities. No interventional radiology, neuro, mammography, or nuclear medicine involved. Eligible for a hybrid schedule with part-time telework.

Qualifications

To qualify for this position, you must meet the basic requirements as well as any additional requirements listed in the job announcement. Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met. Currently employed physicians in VA who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation.

Basic Requirements:

1. United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy.
2. Degree of doctor of medicine or an equivalent degree resulting from a course of education in medicine or osteopathic medicine.
3. The degree must have been obtained from one of the schools approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the year in which the course of study was completed.
4. Current, full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a State, Territory, or Commonwealth of the United States, or in the District of Columbia.
5. Residency Training: Physicians must have completed residency training approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in an accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification.
6. (NOTE: VA physicians involved in academic training programs may be required to be board certified for faculty status.) Approved residencies are: (1) Those approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), or (2) Those approved by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), or (3) Other residencies (non-US residency training programs followed by a minimum of five years of verified practice in the United States), which the local Medical Staff Executive Committee deems to have provided the applicant with appropriate professional training and believes has exposed the physician to an appropriate range of patient care experiences.
7. Residents currently enrolled in ACGME/AOA accredited residency training programs and who would otherwise meet the basic requirements for appointment are eligible to be appointed as "Physician Resident Providers" (PRPs).
8. PRPs must be fully licensed physicians (i.e., not a training license) and may only be appointed on an intermittent or fee-basis.
9. PRPs are not considered independent practitioners and will not be privileged; rather, they are to have a "scope of practice" that allows them to perform certain restricted duties under supervision.
10. Additionally, surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs.
11. Proficiency in spoken and written English.
12. Reference: For more information on this qualification standard, please visit VA Qualification Standards.

Duties

1. The ideal candidate will have experience in chest, body, and extremity imaging with the general modalities (XR, CT, US, DXA, and Fluoro) and some MRI.
2. Sub-specialization within body or chest imaging is preferred, but not required. A reasonable workload is shared with several colleagues having various areas of expertise and specialization.
3. Our group also provides training to residents rotating from the University of Pennsylvania Health System.
4. Our department has state-of-the-art imaging equipment, including dual energy CT and both 1.5/3 Tesla MRIs.
5. Work Schedule: Monday - Friday 8am to 4:30pm with no on-call.
6. At least 50% of work will be on-site, but up to 50% telework may be authorized.
7. Pay: Competitive salary, annual performance bonus, regular salary increases.
8. Paid Time Off: 50-55 days of paid time off per year (26 days of annual leave, 13 days of sick leave, 11 paid Federal holidays per year, and possible 5 day paid absence for CME).
9. Retirement: Traditional federal pension (5 years vesting) and federal 401K with up to 5% in contributions by VA.
10. Insurance: Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care (many federal insurance programs can be carried into retirement).
11. CME: Possible $1,000 per year reimbursement (must be full-time with board certification).
12. Malpractice: Free liability protection with tail coverage provided.
13. Contract: No Physician Employment Contract and no significant restriction on moonlighting.
