Radiology - Teaching Associate
The Department of Radiology at the University of Washington is seeking a faculty member at the level of Teaching Associate to join the Harborview Medical Center Department of Radiology. This position is open until filled. Direct experience in Radiology, Cardiology, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound and Interventional Radiology (IR) is preferred, but not required. This position will provide general support to the Department of Radiology Faculty as assigned. He or she will coordinate with subspecialty fellows, residents and faculty the pre-procedure assessment and long-term follow-up of patients upon whom imaging and image-guided procedures will be, or have been, performed and will assist referring clinical services in identifying those patients in whom additional imaging services are required. Other duties will include interpreting radiographic studies, performing procedures independently, monitoring cardiac stress tests, performing history and physical examinations, ordering and review of relevant laboratory and imaging studies, prescribing medications as needed, corresponding with patients and their summary providers and providing relevant patient teaching. Teaching responsibilities will include assistance in the training of Radiology residents and subspecialty fellows and residents, focusing on long-term clinical management. Other activities will include but are not limited to community outreach, conferences, lectures and grand rounds.

Radiology is an active and growing department that enjoys close integration with other departments and physicians to ensure the University of Washington and Harborview Medical Center provide outstanding comprehensive care.

Candidates for this position must be a currently licensed Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) or Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) with prescriptive authority, licensed in or eligible for licensure in Washington State and have current BLS and ACLS certification.

Take a close look at this job description folks. Somebody tell me the difference between this position and a faculty radiologist.
