Interventional Radiology Physician - Queens, NY

CLFC Healthcare and Communications • Queens, NY

2d • Onsite

About The Position

CLF Consultants LLC seeks a board certified or board eligible interventional radiologist for a full-time, on-site appointment at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in the Bronx, New York. This is a dedicated position, not a rotation and not a per-diem panel seat. The physician in this role serves one facility, one patient population, and one service line. The patient population is veterans, many of them older, with complex vascular, oncologic, and hepatobiliary disease. The case mix is genuine interventional work rather than screening throughput, performed in an established hospital radiology department with its own angiography suite, technologists, and nursing staff, to American College of Radiology practice standards. The appointment is designed for an interventional radiologist who wants to focus on specialty practice without many of the production and business pressures that surround it elsewhere. There are no relative value unit production targets, no partnership buy-in, no billing exposure, and no competition for block time. Call is defined and shared rather than open-ended, call-in activations are paid on top of salary, and the schedule is predictable enough to plan a life around. As a CLFC-employed physician supporting a federal healthcare environment, your compensation is aligned to the New York metropolitan physician market while the clinical practice environment remains federal.

• Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from an accredited medical school.

• Completion of an ACGME accredited residency and interventional radiology fellowship or integrated IR residency.
