Radiologist | Breast Imaging + Diagnostic Radiology

10 Weeks PTO. No Overnight Reads. Hybrid Flexibility. Blue Ridge Mountain Living.

Blue Ridge Radiology | UNC Health Blue Ridge | Western North Carolina

What if your next radiology position gave you a rewarding clinical practice without asking you to sacrifice your life outside of medicine?

Blue Ridge Radiology at UNC Health Blue Ridge is seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Diagnostic Radiologist to join our collegial team serving communities across Western North Carolina.

This opportunity combines Breast Imaging and General Diagnostic Radiology with an exceptional practice model featuring 10 weeks of PTO, no overnight reads, hybrid flexibility, and a shared 1:6 backup call rotation.

Whether you're an experienced radiologist looking for a better balance or completing training and searching for a place to build your career, this is an opportunity to practice meaningful medicine while creating more room for the life you want outside of work.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

More Flexibility. More Time for Life.

  • 10 weeks of PTO annually
  • No overnight reads
  • Dedicated coverage handles reads after 9:00 PM
  • Hybrid practice model
  • On-site coverage only 2 weeks every 6 weeks
  • Backup call only, shared on a 1:6 rotation
  • Backup coverage hours:
    • Weekdays: 10:00 AM–9:00 PM
    • Weekends: 7:00 AM–7:00 PM
  • Moonlighting opportunities available

This is a practice model designed to provide professional fulfillment while preserving something increasingly valuable in medicine: your time.

A Practice with Variety

You'll enjoy a blend of Breast Imaging and General Diagnostic Radiology, providing the clinical variety and professional engagement that make radiology rewarding.

You'll join a stable, collegial group of fellowship-trained radiologists with a shared workload and team-focused approach to patient care.

And importantly, fellowship training is not required for this opportunity.

For the right physician, this is a chance to bring your expertise to a community where your work is valued and where access to high-quality diagnostic services makes a meaningful difference for patients throughout the region.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a radiologist who values clinical excellence, collaboration, flexibility, and patient-centered care.

Qualifications include:

  • Board Certified or Board Eligible in Diagnostic Radiology
  • Interest or experience in Breast Imaging
  • Ability to provide General Diagnostic Radiology coverage
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Commitment to high-quality patient care
  • Fellowship training is not required

Compensation & Benefits

UNC Health Blue Ridge offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your professional goals and your life outside of medicine.

Benefits include:

  • 10 weeks of PTO annually
  • Competitive compensation
  • Relocation assistance
  • Professional liability coverage
  • Short- and long-term disability insurance
  • 403(b) retirement and savings plan
  • Moonlighting opportunities

Live Where Others Come to Vacation

Surrounded by the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Morganton area offers access to lakes, mountains, trails, charming downtown communities, and some of North Carolina's most beautiful outdoor destinations.

When you're away from work, you can spend your time:

  • 🚤 Boating, fishing, swimming, and paddling at Lake James
  • 🥾 Hiking and exploring Pisgah National Forest
  • 🌄 Taking in the views of Linville Gorge, known as the “Grand Canyon of the East”
