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."

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!

Geez, that sounds rough. 😱
