Job description

Description

Put your clinical expertise to work beyond your primary practice. Vets Choice Radiology (VCR) offers Part-Time, Remote Independent Contractor opportunities for Veterinary Radiologists seeking additional income and meaningful diagnostic work alongside an existing clinical, hospital or academic position.

Continue the clinical career you have built while exploring a complementary role in teleradiology. You will support emergency, specialty and general practices through remote interpretation and consultation, with Clinical Liaison coordination, experienced colleagues and technical support during your scheduled coverage.

Role at a Glance

• Supplemental, fully remote work as a Part-Time Independent Contractor. Multiple opportunities available; no travel or on‑call duty required.
• Apply your specialist expertise to studies submitted by other practices and help referring veterinarians make informed care decisions.
• Earn additional income through production-based teleradiology work, with competitive compensation based on experience and credentials. Compensation terms will be discussed during the selection process.

We will discuss your existing professional commitments and availability alongside VCR’s coverage needs. The current opening calls for two to three weekday evenings, 6:00 p.m.–midnight Central Time, plus one Saturday or Sunday shift each week. Evening assignments are established collaboratively. Total weekly hours, weekend shift duration and shared holiday coverage will be confirmed when agreeing your schedule.

Why Choose VCR

• Clinical Coordination Around Your Work: Our internal Clinical Liaison team coordinates client communication, missing histories and follow-up requests, while you provide interpretations and necessary clinical consultations.
• Connection to Colleagues: Internal communication channels, case rounds, mentor rounds and quality assurance and peer review provide opportunities to exchange expertise and learn together.
• Support for Remote Practice: IT and technical support are available during all shifts. VCR provides required computer equipment and monitors, plus partial reimbursement for internet service.
• An Experienced Mentor: Each new radiologist is paired with an experienced colleague during onboarding.

Applying Your Clinical Expertise in Teleradiology

Interpret radiographs, ultrasound, CT and MRI studies and produce clear, accurate, actionable reports using voice dictation. Consult with referring veterinarians on complex or critical cases, collaborate with fellow radiologists, and participate in rounds and quality review.

Your clinical experience is valuable, and remote interpretation brings different demands. You will assess studies acquired by other practices, work with the histories and image quality provided, and consult remotely with referring veterinarians. Reading pace and completed interpretations matter alongside diagnostic accuracy and report quality. VCR’s one‑hour STAT guarantee makes timely prioritization of urgent studies essential.
