Clinical environments include interventional radiology procedure suites, inpatient hospital units, outpatient clinics, pre procedure and post procedure recovery areas, emergency or urgent care settings when interventional radiology consultation is required, and multidisciplinary clinical environments across the health system.

Schedule responsibilities may include weekday clinical and procedural coverage, outpatient clinic sessions, inpatient consult support, pre procedure and post procedure management, rotating coverage across campuses, and potential evening, weekend, or call responsibilities depending on future service needs and institutional approval.
