Interventional Radiologist

Our organization is on the lookout for a Board Eligible/Board Certified Interventional Radiologist to become a part of our dedicated team within the Department of Radiology.

The Interventional Radiology Division operates as a vital section of our Radiology Department, offering a comprehensive array of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that cater to various clinical conditions and age groups. This dynamic practice collaborates closely with vascular surgery to address vascular diseases through a wide range of interventional radiology services.

Currently, our division is comprised of nine board-certified interventional radiologists and provides care across six hospitals, which include two Level 1 trauma centers, a specialized pediatric hospital, a bustling community hospital, a surgical center for both outpatient and short-term inpatient procedures, and East Campus for extended admissions. The main facility, our state-of-the-art medical center, opened in 2021 and is recognized as the top hospital in the Inland Empire. Nestled in the scenic foothills of Loma Linda, California, our division serves as a tertiary referral center for surrounding hospitals, managing some of the most complex patient cases.

As part of our academic institution, this interventional radiology practice is committed to educating ten diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology residents annually, along with numerous medical students participating in clinical and sub-internship rotations, as well as pre-clinical and pre-medical students seeking shadowing opportunities and mentorship. Our organization has a rich history of training exceptional interventional radiologists for over 50 years through its fellowship program, and now through integrated IR/DR and independent IR residency programs.

In our interventional radiology practice, all inpatient procedures necessitate formal consultations with the IR service, while outpatient requests are assessed for either in-person or virtual clinic visits prior to scheduling any procedures. Each day commences with a morning conference at 7:45 AM, where residents present the day's scheduled procedures, discussing indications and approaches with the attending physicians. Typical procedural hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with on-call faculty remaining to complete any outstanding procedures. Call duties are assigned on a daily basis, currently every eighth night and weekend. Faculty members generally receive one academic day off each week. Our salary structure is competitive within the academic sector of the region, and there are opportunities for internal moonlighting.

At our organization, we are dedicated to delivering the highest quality radiological services to both physicians and patients, ensuring efficiency in service delivery. We aim to enhance the quality of care through the education of physicians, patients, and the broader community. Our commitment to improving healthcare services is supported by ongoing medical research.

Our mission is to achieve excellence in medical services, education, and research through the effective utilization of our professional staff and the proficient management of technical equipment under our supervision.

Among the various investments made by our Department of Radiology—ranging from cutting-edge technology to highly skilled technologists—the most significant investments are in our people: those we serve and those who serve alongside us. Through them, we invest in the future.

The primary focus of our department is the quality of care provided to our patients. Each section within the Department of Radiology is dedicated to this mission, staffed by fully certified physicians, specialists, and subspecialists, along with physicists, technologists, and support staff. Both our diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology teams prioritize patient care above all else.

Additionally, the Department of Radiology offers accredited residency training programs in both diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology (IR/DR). We perform over 415,000 radiologic examinations annually. Our radiology group is exceptionally cohesive and maintains strong relationships with referring specialty practice groups within the university system. Residents gain exposure to both the academic and clinical aspects of radiology, with the ultimate goal of successfully completing board examinations and practicing radiology competently, whether in private or academic settings.

• Completion of post-graduate training in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology from an ACGME-accredited U.S. program (either an IR/DR residency, a DR residency followed by an independent IR residency, or a DR residency and an IR fellowship).
• Board eligibility or certification from the American Board of Radiology (ABR) or the American Osteopathic Board of Radiology (AOBR).
• Possession of a valid medical license or the ability to obtain one in the state of California.
