Radiologist | OKC

Academic Pediatric Radiologist

Freestanding Children's Hospital. Statewide Reach. University of Oklahoma

Position Highlights:

• Join a defined Pediatric Radiology section within OU Health's Department of Radiological Sciences — a cohesive academic group with shared call and strong resident support, not a fragmented or transient model.
• Practice at Oklahoma Children's Hospital, the state's only freestanding comprehensive pediatric medical center, on a campus anchored by a Level I pediatric trauma center.
• 100,000+ pediatric imaging studies annually across CT, MRI, ultrasound, X-ray, fluoroscopy, and image-guided procedures — volume and case diversity across every pediatric age group and acuity level.
• Clinically integrated with pediatrics, pediatric surgery, oncology, NICU, and emergency medicine within Oklahoma's only fully integrated, statewide academic health network — real subspecialty collaboration, not isolated reads.
• Section-based call currently ~1:4 and improving with this hire; strong resident support limits overnight disruption.
• Daily resident and medical student teaching, with research and leadership involvement supported but not mandated — flexibility as your academic interests evolve.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Approximately $575,000 base, transitioning to an uncapped wRVU production model — transparent framework used consistently across the department.
• Additional compensation for extra call shifts.
• $25,000 sign-on bonus.
• Visa sponsorship available, including H-1B.
• 9% employer retirement contribution, $5,500 CME allowance, relocation assistance, full malpractice coverage, and 6 weeks PTO in year one.

Qualifications:

• Fellowship training in Pediatric Radiology; board-certified or board-eligible.
• Open to new graduates and experienced faculty.
• US-trained and international medical graduates considered.
• Genuine interest in teaching and academic practice; research encouraged but not required.
