try this: http://www.nighthawkrad.net/

Probably a lot less salary than the average US-based Rad and no chance of partnership. It might be a cool gig if you are young with no kids and want to live abroad for a few years.
 
Isn't telergiology the study of the earth (rock formations etc) as it relates the bank tellers?

Its not as interesting a filed as teleradi"oo"lagy. Where all the cases you see are interesting and make you go "oo." :laugh:
 
thanks.
do you know of any practices that use teleradiology inhouse as opposed to outsourcing to nighthawk? that is a group that has setup teleradiology for their own radiologists to use when they are at home or away from work.

A lot of practices do cover call with teleradiology from home. Some have innovative arrangements. One practice that one of our fellows interviewed at last year had a condo they owned in Barcelona, Spain and sent one radiologist there every month to cover the night time (when its day in beautiful spain). Great deal. I would love an arrangement like that!
