IU Health • Roanoke, IN

10d • Onsite

About The Position

This hospital-based ultrasound position provides diagnostic imaging services to inpatient and outpatient populations. The technologist independently operates sonographic equipment, evaluates images for diagnostic quality, and adjusts imaging techniques to obtain the best possible images. The role involves collaborating with radiologists and other healthcare professionals, explaining procedures to patients, positioning them safely and comfortably, and following current scan protocols and high-level disinfection practices. The technologist may assist with minimally invasive procedures, perform intraoperative ultrasound as requested, and use familiarity with ultrasound contrast indications and administration practices.

The selected candidate will perform general ultrasound examinations and may support procedural imaging such as thoracentesis, paracentesis, and fine needle aspiration. General sonography experience is preferred. The position is based at a new Fort Wayne hospital, with anticipated hours at launch of Saturday and Sunday, 7:00 AM–7:00 PM, for 24 hours per week (0.6 FTE). Schedules may evolve as operational needs become clearer. Participation in the ultrasound call rotation is required, including expected call coverage from 7:00 PM–7:00 AM, and rotating holiday coverage is expected.

The planned start date is March 2027. Orientation and training will take place before the facility opens on May 1, 2027. Training may include rotations at Ball Memorial Hospital, existing Fort Wayne outpatient locations, and the new Fort Wayne hospital department before opening. Sign-on bonuses are available for qualified candidates.
