Why is our practice unique? We strive to offer the best of both worlds- private practice flexibility and compensation with academic options. In affiliation with Western Michigan University Homer Stryker School of Medicine, our radiologists have opportunities to teach and mentor medical students 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.  We find that entrepreneurial minded physicians who value involvement in decision making and developing our business strategy fit well. Participation in section, committee and board meetings is not required but welcomed from day one. 

Compensation/Benefits: We offer a competitive salary/bonus and opportunities for additional shifts on a month to month basis. Our physicians pay nothing for medical/dental/vision coverage and enjoy an $18,000 medical reimbursement account annually. We also contribute the maximum amount allowed to the 401K plan ($66,000 in 2023). We offer immediate vacation parity with partners at 13 weeks and physicians coordinate vacation dates within a small pod. We are continually striving to improve the work/life balance for our physicians.
