Description

Overview:

Live and work where others vacation! Tahoe Carson Radiology (TCR) is a stable and thriving physician-owned group of 11 radiologists.  We are seeking highly motivated, and ideally, fellowship trained radiologists. Our practice consists of fellowship-trained radiologists performing the full spectrum of diagnostic radiology and IR procedures. The practice has multiple stable inpatient and outpatient hospital and imaging center contracts. Possibility for ownership in ventures.  The practice boasts over 40 years of stability with low turnover. As a true private practice, you don’t have to share your profits with private equity or anyone other than your equal partners!

Location:

The area offers the right balance of urban amenities and outdoor adventure!  Just 20 minutes from Lake Tahoe, and very close proximity to Reno, our area is a gem in the Sierra Nevadas.  With over 250 days of sunshine per year.  Reno was voted “One of the 12 Best Places to Live” by Outside Magazine.  There are endless outdoor opportunities including hiking, boating, mountain biking, outdoor motorsports, fly fishing and more. The practice is located as little as 20 minutes from epic skiing.  There are 14 ski resorts within an hour’s drive.  In addition, Reno offers greater entertainment, cuisine and culture than the typical mid-size metro area.  Reno-Tahoe International Airport is less than 30 minutes away with numerous nonstop destinations offered by all the major airlines.  You can truly have it all.  

Compensation/Benefits/Vacation:

Ultra-Competitive salary and profit sharing with income in the top 1% of Radiologists. No state income tax in Nevada.  Short partnership track.  Associate starting salary of $500,000/year.  There are ample opportunities for voluntary internal moonlighting if desired (typically from home).  There is no cash buy-in to the practice.  All shareholders are equal.  While on partnership track, you will receive 10 weeks of paid vacation (much more as partner). Call is distributed evenly between associates and partners.  There is a generous medical plan for physicians and family, and a competitive annual CME allowance.  All retirement vehicles optimized to the max.  Also offered is company-paid medical malpractice and disability insurance.  Numerous other perks are also offered.  As partner, vacation is shared equally.

The Practice:

A true private practice.  No private equity involvement.  Very stable.  The main hospital covered is a stable, regional medical center that is well respected in the communities it serves.  Many diagnostic shifts (including call) can be done from the comfort of your own home with provided workstations.  There are some travel responsibilities within driving distance which are shared equally.  Call is shared equally amongst associates and partners.  You can expect ample opportunities to read within your subspecialty.  

As partner, there are existing opportunities for imaging center ownership.  Potential additional imaging center(s)/IR OBL. It's an excellent opportunity to get started from the beginning of these ventures, if desired. 

Nighthawk coverage is provided.  In addition to hospital IT, we have our own dedicated IT specialist and our own administrative support staff.  

A typical diagnostic shift consists of 100-150 exams.  We employ a full-time NP to perform clinical duties for IR and help with minor procedures.  We also employ a Radiologist Assistant (RA) who performs most of the fluoro and basic IR procedures.  

IR coverage in the regional medical center consists of the full gamut of IR procedures from bread and butter to complex interventions (oncology, biliary, TIPS and more).  IR call is very manageable.  The practice is very supportive of IR.  

Currently seeking:

We are currently seeking both interventional and diagnostic radiologists.  

Diagnostic candidates should be comfortable with interpreting most modalities of diagnostic imaging efficiently and accurately as well as performing basic interventional procedures (biopsies, drains, joints, etc) if they arise.  Mammography or a willingness to re-certify in mammography is favored.  Neuro, MSK, MRI and nuclear medicine expertise would also be particularly valued, but we would consider others if the right fit.  We would also consider per diem, part time or fully remote non- shareholder positions.  

IR candidates should be proficient in or willing to learn a broad spectrum of IR procedures.  Experience or training in peripheral artery disease, prostate artery embolization, genicular artery embolization and other emerging procedures is a plus.  Currently one can expect 50-75% of time spent on an IR shift (depending on desire).  While on downtime on IR, diagnostic radiology reading is expected.  IR related work is anticipated to increase with new ventures/contracts.
