Job Opportunity: Pediatric Interventional Radiologist

As part of our commitment to enhancing the well-being of our faculty and in response to growth, we are seeking a full-time pediatric interventional radiologist to join our team.

Our Pediatric Interventional Radiology Section conducts over 7,500 image-guided procedures annually and is currently comprised of four dedicated pediatric interventional radiologists. Our team is supported by five advanced practice providers (APPs) and a Care Navigator, ensuring comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services. We offer a wide range of interventions, including:

• Vascular access
• Treatment of vascular malformations
• Hepatobiliary procedures
• Enteral procedures
• Musculoskeletal procedures
• Angiography
• Embolization
• DVT/PE lysis

Additionally, our section includes a specialized pediatric neurointerventional radiologist. We have a longstanding tradition of sharing our clinical expertise through both internal and external educational initiatives and actively participate in various multispecialty programs, including a vascular anomalies clinic. Our organization boasts several centers of excellence, such as the Heart Center, Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders, and the Barrow Neurological Institute, along with robust solid organ and bone marrow transplant programs.

The Interventional Radiology department is equipped with two Philips DSA rooms (one featuring biplane technology), dedicated ultrasound capabilities in each room, an IR-only pre-procedure area, and a consultation room. We anticipate the addition of another biplane DSA room by 2027. A separate minor procedures room is available for low-complexity interventions, and our pediatric anesthesiologists provide specialized anesthesia services. Our team enjoys a collaborative environment with strong relationships among IR nurses, technologists, and physicians.

The Radiology Division consists of 31 full-time radiologists, each specializing in Body, Neuro, and Interventional Radiology. We encourage participation in research, supported by a radiation physicist/imaging scientist and a dedicated research coordinator. Faculty members have the opportunity to hold appointments at the University of Arizona College of Medicine (Phoenix), Mayo Clinic, and Creighton University School of Medicine (Phoenix). Our active teaching and research program includes three ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology fellowship positions, two additional non-accredited fellowships (Neuro and Pediatric Interventional Radiology), as well as opportunities for fellows, residents, and medical students from affiliated radiology programs.

Our main campus is a standalone 533-bed Level 1 children’s hospital, recognized as the largest pediatric facility in the Southwestern United States.

• MD or DO degree, or equivalent
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited diagnostic or interventional radiology residency
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology or Adult Interventional Radiology fellowship (if diagnostic radiology residency was completed)
• Completion of a Pediatric Interventional Radiology fellowship (preferred but negotiable; the last hire completed an ACGME IR/DR residency without a supplemental fellowship)
• ABR certified or eligible
• Eligible for licensure in Arizona

We are an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. We encourage interested candidates to explore this opportunity further.
