Physician Breast Imaging St. Joseph

Who we are: Advanced Radiology Services is one of the largest physician-owned radiology practices in the country. Our growing practice includes 215 radiologists, 44 advanced practice providers, and 200 employees providing administrative support in our wholly owned subsidiary STARS. We value diversity on our team and promote a culture of inclusion. We provide services to more than 60 different sites across the state of Michigan. 

What we do: ARS is the exclusive radiology provider to Corewell Health Lakeland Hospital in southwest Michigan. Corewell Lakeland was recently named one of the nation’s 15 Top U.S. Health Systems by Truven Health Analytics. This study evaluates health care systems on five areas: inpatient outcomes, process of care, extended outcomes, efficiency, and patient experience.

What we are looking for: We are currently accepting applicants for a full time radiologist with a strong interest in breast imaging. While the main focus of the position will be breast imaging there will also be non-breast imaging shifts. These shifts can be general or in some other area of interest such as body imaging. This position will be a combination of on-site shifts in St. Joseph and remote shifts from home. We have adjusted our on-site hospital shift hours to provide parity with work from home shifts in our schedule. The on-site hours are typically 8 to 4. Our standard schedule positions work 39 weeks and 11 weekends and have 13 weeks’ vacation. We could also consider an alternate schedule track candidate which would require no nights or weekends. 

Responsibilities:

· Digital mammography, tomosynthesis, and breast ultrasound 

· Stereotactic and ultrasound-guided biopsies and needle localizations

· General radiology

Why is our practice unique? ARS is a 100% physician owned and managed practice. We are committed to remaining independent. Our physicians enjoy the benefits of private practice with an academic focus. In affiliation with Michigan State University College of Medicine, our radiologists have opportunities to teach and mentor residents in Grand Rapids and pursue research if desired. Due to the size and breadth of the healthcare systems we support, diagnostic volume and variety of clinical exposure is unrivaled. 

Compensation/Benefits: Our physicians pay nothing for medical/dental/vision coverage. We also contribute the maximum amount allowed to the 401K plan. We offer a generous vacation package as well as abundant opportunities to pick up additional shifts and increase compensation. The schedule would be primarily days with a couple evening shifts per month. Alternative schedules are also available as mentioned above. We are continually striving to improve the work/life balance for our physicians.
