Overview

Yale University Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging is looking for radiologists in all specialty areas who excel in high quality clinical imaging interpretation, targeting community and tertiary care patient needs. We are seeking applicants for full-and part- time opportunities, including the possibility of per-diem work. We are looking for exceptional radiologists who value high quality, timely patient care, but also desire flexibility in the timing and location of their shifts. We have multiple openings at this time, inclusive of weekday, evening, weekend, and night work. We have a highly competitive clinical compensation scheme that offers extra compensation (or more free time) for working off-hours or higher volume work. Inclusive of the following sections (most modalities for each section):

• Abdominopelvic imaging
• Musculoskeletal imaging

In all sections, you would be invited to participate in peer-review conferences, and section meetings. You would not have committee or clinical case conference obligations, although you would be invited to attend at your choice.
