Position Overview

This is an opportunity to spearhead the development of a new Chest Radiology program at one of the leading academic centers in the Gulf South.

Imagine being at the forefront of a revolutionary development in Chest Radiology, right in the heart of the Gulf South's leading academic centers. This is not just a job opportunity; it's a chance to lead and shape a burgeoning field within a prestigious, physician-led multispecialty group. Picture yourself as part of the Ochsner South Shore group, joining forces with over 50 expert radiologists, and being a part of a larger, influential network of over 110 radiologists statewide.

Envision a work life balanced perfectly with your personal life. This position offers flexible scheduling options, including a Monday to Friday routine or an appealing 7 on/7 off pattern. More enticingly, it extends remote work possibilities for non-leadership Chest Imaging roles, offering you the luxury of choice and comfort.

But there's more. The call duties, often a daunting aspect of medical professions, are surprisingly manageable and optional here. You have the freedom to opt-out, or if you choose to participate, it's only about 8 weekends per year. Plus, embracing the call rotation rewards you with an additional 23 days of PTO annually. And you're never alone in this; there's a robust support system from associated radiology programs and a deep sub-specialty team ready to assist.

The collaborative environment at Ochsner South Shore is unparalleled. It's a place where interdisciplinary partnerships thrive. You'll have the opportunity to forge strong relationships with departments like Pulmonary Medicine, Thoracic Surgery, the Cancer Service Line, and Cardiology. These collaborations are more than just meetings; they are a chance to be part of a cohesive team, working towards groundbreaking treatments and diagnostics.

Your role isn't limited to clinical duties. You'll have the chance to contribute to innovative programs like the Lung Screening program and the Interventional Cardiology program for TAVR. These initiatives are at the cutting edge of medical technology and patient care, offering a unique blend of practical and research opportunities.

The academic aspect of this position is just as enriching. Engage in clinical and teaching activities, with potential opportunities to influence the next generation of radiologists through residency programs and numerous subspecialty fellowships. Imagine having academic appointments with renowned institutions like Xavier, MD Anderson, and the University of Queensland. And, for those with a vision and drive, there's the dream of building a team and eventually starting a Chest Fellowship program.

This is more than a job; it's a career-defining opportunity. It's a chance to make a real impact in the field of Chest Imaging Radiology, to work in a supportive, innovative, and academically enriching environment, and to balance your professional growth with personal wellbeing. If you're ready to take on this challenge, to be a leader and a pioneer, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
