Interventional Radiology Technologist

Interventional Radiology is where advanced imaging, procedural expertise, and life-changing patient care converge. At UVA Health, Interventional Radiology Technologists are critical members of a highly specialized team performing minimally invasive procedures that directly influence outcomes for some of the most complex patients in the region.

This opportunity is designed for technologists who want more than a routine procedural role.

The Role

As an Interventional Radiology Technologist, you will support a diverse range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in a high-acuity environment where technical expertise, clinical judgment, and teamwork are essential. You will work closely with interventional radiologists, nurses, anesthesia providers, residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals to deliver safe, efficient, patient-centered care.

An average day may include:

• Supporting a broad spectrum of vascular and non-vascular interventional procedures, from scheduled cases to emergent interventions.
• Preparing procedure rooms, imaging equipment, and supplies to ensure readiness for complex cases.
• Operating fluoroscopic and advanced imaging systems to provide real-time procedural guidance.
• Maintaining strict standards for radiation safety, sterile technique, and infection prevention.
• Anticipating physician and team needs to promote efficiency and exceptional patient outcomes.
• Educating and supporting patients and families throughout the procedural experience.
• Collaborating across multiple specialties to coordinate care for critically ill and medically complex patients.
• Contributing to quality improvement initiatives and supporting the academic mission through interaction with students, residents, and fellows.

The pace is dynamic, the technology is advanced, and the impact is immediate. Every day brings new clinical challenges, opportunities to expand your expertise, and the ability to make a meaningful difference in patients' lives.
