Position Summary

Posting Note: Due to growth of the service line and the enterprise, and to align with institutional commitment to well-being of the faculty, the Section of Pediatric Interventional Radiology at Phoenix Children's is recruiting for a full-time pediatric interventional radiologist.

The Section performs over 7500 image-guided procedures per year and is currently staffed by 5 dedicated pediatric interventional radiologists and a full-time pediatric neurointerventionalist, supported by an IR-dedicated PA and Care Navigator. We perform a vast array of interventions, including but not limited to vascular access, treatment of vascular malformations, biliary procedures, enteral procedures, musculoskeletal procedures, angiography and embolization, DVT/PE lysis, and neurointerventional procedures. The Section has a long and rich history of internal and external teaching and clinical excellence. We participate in the multispecialty vascular anomalies clinic at PCH and are active in numerous multispecialty conferences. Phoenix Children’s has many centers of excellence, including the Heart Center, Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders and Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s. Additionally, we have active solid organ and bone marrow transplant programs.

The IR department includes two Philips DSA rooms (one with biplane), dedicated ultrasound in each room, an IR-only pre-procedure area and a consult room. There is a separate minor procedures room that is equipped to handle low-complexity procedures. Subspecialized pediatric anesthesiologists provide anesthesia services. There is a strong working relationship between the IR nurses, technologists and physicians, and by the time this physician position on-boards, we anticipate an additional IR APP being part of our team.

The Division of Radiology consists of 30 full-time radiologists subspecialized into Body, Neuro and IR sections. Participation in research is encouraged and is supported by a radiation physicist/imaging scientist, a dedicated research coordinator and an ultrasound research technologist. Radiology faculty are eligible to hold appointments to the University of Arizona College of Medicine (Phoenix), Mayo Clinic, and Creighton University School of Medicine (Phoenix). An active program of teaching and research includes 3 ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology fellow positions, 2 additional non-accredited fellow positions (Neuro and PIR) as well as fellows, residents and medical students from affiliated Radiology programs.

Phoenix Children's main campus is a freestanding 457-bed Level 1 children’s hospital and is the largest pediatric facility in the Southwest USA. There are currently 4 additional satellite outpatient, urgent care and emergency centers located across the Phoenix Valley region. Several new satellite Phoenix Children’s locations are slated to open in the Phoenix Valley in 2024, some with interventional radiology services. These locations include two new free-standing hospitals with outpatient surgery centers and multidisciplinary clinics and full radiology departments.

Minimum requirements:
• MD or DO degree, or equivalent
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited diagnostic or interventional radiology residency
• Completion of ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology or Adult Interventional Radiology fellowship (if completed diagnostic radiology residency)
• Completion of a Pediatric Interventional Radiology fellowship (ideal, but fully negotiable – the last hire completed an ACGME IR/DR residency with no supplemental fellowship)
• ABR certified or eligible
• Eligible for licensure in Arizona
