Job Description

Last Update: 1/29/20

We’re looking for a friendly Diagnostic Radiologist who takes pride in producing high-quality work, gets along well with co-workers, and wants to make a real difference in patients’ lives.

We currently have a group of nine Diagnostic Radiologists. In addition to providing a spectrum of subspecialty expertise, our providers work together to perform general radiology duties including CT, MRI, ultrasound, plain films, fluoroscopy, and image-guided procedures. We’re now looking for an additional full-time Radiologist, preferably someone with Musculoskeletal experience (although this is not absolutely necessary).

Our VA is the referral center for a large region including parts of three states, and thus serves diverse population of veterans with widely varying needs and diagnoses. We have state-of-the-art equipment which is updated regularly. We’re committed to keeping our physicians at the cutting edge to serve our patients by providing ongoing support for professional training and development. Our group is well respected within the institution, and has a great relationship with its referral base of primary care and specialist providers.

The VA offers an unbeatable benefits package including pension, retirement account with employer matching, health/life/disability insurance, and numerous other advantages. What’s more, central Indiana offers a fantastic mix of comfort, culture, and low cost of living that make it a great place to live and work, including some areas that regularly make the “top places to live” lists. If you’re interested in a welcoming place where you can grow professionally, we’d love to hear from you.

VA BENEFITS

Paid Time Off:

  • 26 Days paid annual (vacation/personal) leave
  • 13 Days paid sick leave each year with no limit on accumulation
  • 10 paid Federal holidays per year
  • 5 Days paid absence to attend approved CME courses

Insurance:

  • Health Insurance: VA employees have an outstanding number of health insurance plans from which to choose (premiums are partially paid by VA). Lifetime Healthcare Insurance options available
  • Dental & Vision: Our insurance options also include exceptional vision and dental plans (premiums are partially paid by VA)
  • VA employees have the option to use Flexible Spending Accounts, which allow you to use tax-free dollars to pay for medical, dental, and vision care expenses that are not reimbursed by your health insurance plan
  • Term life insurance, family, and additional coverage options are available with the cost shared by the Federal Government
  • Long-term care insurance is available as an option

Loan Repayment:

  • Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) is authorized for this position. It may be granted based on availability of funds.

Federal Retirement Plan:

  • VA employees are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). FERS is a three-tiered retirement plan composed of 1) Social Security benefits; 2) FERS-RAE basic benefits (pension); and 3) Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is a 401K-type plan
  • How is the pension funded? VA employees automatically contribute 4.4% of their salary each pay period and the VA contributes 8.3% of the employee’s salary each pay period for a total annual contribution percentage equal to 12.7% of the employee’s salary
  • Similar to the 401(k) savings plans widely available in the private sector, the TSP allows employees to tax defer a portion of their income each year, subject to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. Employees under the age of 50 may contribute up to $18,000, while those over age 50 are eligible to make catch-up contributions that allow them to defer up to $24,000.
  • The Federal Government also provides an automatic basic contribution (1% of salary) and up to 4% of salary in matching contributions, depending on the amount of the employee contribution
  • For retired military personnel, these benefits are in addition to full monthly retirement pay or pension
  • In addition to FERS, VA provides health care insurance coverage for retired personnel
  • Disability Retirement
  • Employees are vested in a federal pension after only 5 years’ service
