Musculoskeletal Radiologist

The Department of Radiology at Jefferson Health/Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is seeking a musculoskeletal fellowship-trained radiologist to join the Musculoskeletal Radiology Division.

The Thomas Jefferson University Hospital musculoskeletal radiology division is among the largest at academic medical centers in the U.S. with 12 fellowship-trained radiologists, holding numerous leadership and committee positions in the International Skeletal Society and the Society of Skeletal Radiology, and a rapidly growing practice with the opening of the state-of-the-art Honickman Outpatient Center on Jefferson’s campus. 

Clinical responsibilities will include diagnostic radiographic, CT, MRI, and ultrasound interpretation as well as ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy-guided musculoskeletal procedures. We have among the highest musculoskeletal MRI volumes in the U.S. with more than 120 MRI joints interpreted daily, including many sports-related injuries, and over 40 diagnostic MSK ultrasound studies per day, many of which are accompanied by ultrasound-guided procedures, including steroid injections, tenotomy, PRP injections, calcific tendinosis barbotage, flexor retinaculum release for carpal tunnel, etc. We provide imaging interpretation and image-guided intervention services for the major professional sports teams in the region (including coverage at the NFL Combine and MLB spring training), several regional collegiate and high school athletics programs, as well as the Pennsylvania Ballet. Our division also performs all MR imaging and ultrasound-guided exams at an institute specialized in core muscle ("sports hernia") and hip injuries – one of the elite sports-related surgery centers in the country, treating professional football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer players from all over the world. We also have a research collaboration with the U.S. Olympic team.

The division is nationally recognized for our two fellowship programs, a musculoskeletal radiology ACGME- accredited fellowship (3-4 fellows per year) and a musculoskeletal/neuroradiology MRI fellowship (3-4 fellows per year). In addition, our residency programs include 33 diagnostic radiology residents, 9 integrated interventional radiology residents, and 1 independent interventional radiology position.

There is a tremendous opportunity for clinical research. The division collaborates closely with busy orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, and other practitioners in clinical care and research. Our state-of-the-art equipment includes several multislice CT scanners, MRI units, and workstations, all networked to a centralized PACS system. 

Qualifications:

Applicants must have an MD, DO, or equivalent degree, successful completion of an accredited residency program and MSK fellowship, and must be board certified or board eligible.
