Radiologist - Hybrid Academic Radiologist, Core Teaching Faculty, University Affiliation, Incentive

Job Title: Diagnostic Radiologist

We understand that choosing your next radiology position is about more than compensation. It is about finding the right colleagues, clinical environment, professional opportunities, and work-life balance.

We encourage interested radiologists to call Dr. DeWitt directly for an informal, confidential conversation about our team, teaching opportunities, hybrid work arrangements, and what makes practicing at the Central Virginia VA a rewarding career choice.

The Central Virginia VA Health Care System in Richmond, Virginia, invites you to join our dynamic Diagnostic Radiology team, where clinical excellence, resident education, professional collaboration, and Veteran-centered care come together.

We offer the best of both worlds: the flexibility of working from home through a hybrid schedule, combined with the professional fulfillment of practicing onsite alongside radiology residents, experienced physician colleagues, and skilled technologists.

Our philosophy emphasizes teamwork, professional respect, shared expertise, and a sustainable approach to clinical practice.

A Collaborative Academic Environment

Practice in a large, academically affiliated medical center with close ties to Virginia Commonwealth University. Participate in resident education, case-based teaching, multidisciplinary consultation, and ongoing professional development.

We value radiologists who enjoy sharing their knowledge, discussing challenging cases, mentoring the next generation of physicians, and contributing to a positive learning environment.

A Balanced Hybrid Work Model

Enjoy a combination of onsite clinical practice and telework opportunities, subject to departmental needs and VA policy.

Onsite days provide meaningful interaction with residents, technologists, clinical colleagues, and patients. Remote days offer the opportunity for focused diagnostic interpretation and greater flexibility in managing professional and personal responsibilities.

Our goal is a sustainable practice model that supports both exceptional patient care and physician well-being.

Professional Collaboration and Clinical Variety

Join a team that values the experience and perspective of its physicians. Opportunities include consultation across clinical specialties, advanced imaging interpretation, interdisciplinary conferences, quality improvement, and protocol development.

Fellowship-trained neuroradiologists are particularly encouraged to apply, although qualified diagnostic radiologists with a strong commitment to teaching and teamwork are welcome.
