Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP) at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC)

The Department of Radiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center , a Harvard Medical School affiliate , is seeking a superb individual to serve as our next Section Chief of Musculoskeletal Imaging. The ideal candidate will continue to drive and will participate in the research, education, and clinical missions of the section, as well as advancing the careers of our outstanding MSK staff and trainees.

Our busy MSK Section currently has six full and part‑time faculty members and two fellows in our ACGME‑accredited program, and residents from our 44‑person training program participate in this popular MSK rotation. All section members participate in our plain film call pool and collaborate closely with our Orthopedic, rheumatology, surgical, emergency medicine and other clinical colleagues.

In addition to being a Level 1 Trauma Center, BIDMC has a large and comprehensive Department of Orthopedics, that includes active orthopedic oncology, sports medicine, and orthopedic biomechanics groups that collaborate in research programs. MR and US neurography programs are run in collaboration with our department of Neurology. Excellent research support exists for both MRI and CT, including pulse sequence development and image processing. In addition, the department will be engaged in the newly announced and exciting clinical collaboration between Dana‑Farber Cancer Institute, BIDMC, and HMFP to establish New England’s only free‑standing adult inpatient cancer hospital. The collaboration will bring together world‑class clinicians to deliver transformational, precision medicine in an environment solely dedicated to defying cancer.

The MSK Section performs the full range of musculoskeletal imaging exams and procedures at the Medical Center’s main campus in Boston and at our affiliated community sites. Current facilities include 10 clinical MRI units (1.5T and 3T) and 12 CT scanners. Network sites feed a common PACS and the studies are read at BIDMC in Boston, as well as remote reading through home workstations.
