Lead with Purpose | Lead Interventional Radiologist

Are you a builder who wants to design and lead a modern Interventional Radiology service line instead of just inheriting someone else’s playbook? A large, not for profit health system in the Southeast is seeking a visionary Lead Interventional Radiologist to build and grow a comprehensive hospital based IR program for a multi hospital network.

The Opportunity
  • Lead the development of a full spectrum, hospital-based IR service line for a large regional health system with a broad referral base and growing demand for advanced procedures.
  • Step into a setting with experienced nurses and technologists, and engaged APPs, and help reshape workflows so physicians are in the driver’s seat while APPs support access, efficiency, and patient experience.
  • Partner directly with senior clinical and operational leaders, to define strategy, case mix, consult pathways, and APP roles across multiple hospitals.
  • Collaborate with referring services including surgery, oncology, nephrology, and cardiology to ensure that complex and bread and butter procedures are captured appropriately within IR.
  • Help shape the roadmap for future outpatient and procedural center development as the system moves more IR services into ambulatory settings.
Clinical Scope

Inpatient focused, hospital-based IR across a broad case mix that may include:
  • Oncologic interventions such as ablations and embolizations.
  • Dialysis access and maintenance.
  • Biliary interventions and nephrostomies.
  • Portal hypertension interventions including TIPS.
  • Uterine fibroid embolization.
  • Trauma related IR work.
  • Venous and other bread and butter IR procedures
Provide consultative support, pre and post procedural care, and appropriate follow up as outpatient infrastructure grows.

Equitable IR call rotation within the employed group, supported by a separate diagnostic radiology team so you can focus primarily on interventional work.

Leadership Expectations
  • Serve as the architect of the IR service line and a visible leader for IR across the system.
  • Standardize clinical pathways, consult processes, and scheduling models in partnership with administrative and clinical leaders.
  • Realign APP responsibilities toward a supportive, efficiency enhancing role while preserving engagement and collaboration.
  • Build trust with a separate diagnostic radiology partner and procedural colleagues while advocating for IR growth and appropriate case capture.
  • Mentor future staff IR physicians and help cultivate a culture that is collaborative, low drama, and focused on patient care and long-term success.
Ideal Candidate Profile
  • Fellowship trained in Interventional Radiology, with board certification or eligibility in Diagnostic Radiology or IR DR.
  • At least two to five years of post fellowship experience in a hospital-based IR setting preferred.
  • Comfortable with both complex and bread and butter IR procedures and interested in both inpatient and future outpatient work.
  • Builder mindset with the temperament to navigate a program in transition, multiple stakeholders, and evolving outpatient plans.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to partner effectively with senior leadership, referring clinicians, APPs, and IR staff.
Compensation and Benefits
  • Competitive guaranteed compensation in the high six figure range, aligned with fair market value for experienced IR leaders.
  • Additional incentive opportunities tied to quality, citizenship, and program development goals.
  • Professional fee reimbursement, CME support, and comprehensive health and welfare benefits consistent with other employed physicians in the system.
Community Highlights
  • Live in a vibrant, fast growing lakefront community in the Southeast within an easy drive of metro Atlanta and its international airport.
  • Enjoy year-round outdoor recreation on one of the region’s premier recreational lakes, along with nearby foothills and mountain trails for hiking, cycling, and weekend getaways.
  • Benefit from a strong sense of community, with highly engaged neighborhoods, youth sports, civic organizations, and faith communities.
  • Take advantage of an expanding restaurant and brewery scene, local arts center, concerts, and festivals that draw visitors from across the region.
  • Choose from a range of housing options, from lakefront and golf course communities to historic in town neighborhoods and traditional suburban settings, with a cost of living that remains attractive compared to many other Atlanta area suburbs.
  • Access respected public and private schools, as well as nearby colleges and universities that contribute to the area’s energy, workforce, and cultural offerings
