Norton Children’s Radiology, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine, and a part of Norton Children’s Medical Group, is recruiting for additional pediatric radiologists across multiple subspecialties. The practice currently includes fellowship-trained pediatric radiologists with training in various subspecialties, as well as a registered radiologist assistant, specialized nurses and radiology technicians.
THE PROGRAM NOW OFFERS TWO TRACKS OF EMPLOYMENT. Physicians can choose between an all-clinical track with a gratis faculty appointment or an academic track through the University of Louisville Department of Pediatrics. The position includes a faculty appointment at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, with the opportunity to explore quality improvement, clinical research, translational research, medical education, child advocacy or community engagement. Norton Children’s Research Institute, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine, offers broad support for every stage of research, including study design and statistical analysis. The academic track provides different levels of professorship with opportunities for promotion from the assistant level up to full professor.
The newly renovated radiology space at Norton Children’s Hospital features advanced imaging technology:
- Two MRIs and one 3 tesla (3T) MRI machine
- Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanner
- Two 256-slice CT scanners
- Biplane interventional suite
- FerriScan for liver or cardiac iron quantification
- Fluoroscopy equipment
- Advanced cardiac imaging (CT and MRI) to help diagnose and evaluate children and adults with congenital heart disease
- Ultrasound elastography to evaluate for chronic liver conditions
- Digital X-ray technology that uses minimal radiation compared with older machines
Other facilities served by the team include Norton Women’s & Children’s Hospital and Norton Children’s Medical Center, in which a new Siemens 3T MRI has recently been installed. Access to this advanced technology and multiple campuses allows the group to grow volumes and expand in complexity.
As an integrated entity since 2020, Norton Children’s Medical Group, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine, has recruited over 100 providers, added four new accredited fellowships, expanded outreach throughout Kentucky, and increased funding from the trial drug network through Norton Children’s Research Institute, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine.
