Interventional Radiologist Opportunity in Denver, Colorado

Denver Health, the premier Level I trauma center for the city of Denver and the entire Rocky Mountain region, in collaboration with the University of Colorado, is seeking a staff Interventional Radiologist. Denver Health aims for a world-class interventional radiology division focused on delivering efficient, productive, and cutting-edge clinical care; a robust and growing educational program for students, residents, and fellows; and a research portfolio focused on collaboration with others inside and outside the Department.

The organization

Denver Health is an integrated, efficient, academic health care system that is considered a model for the nation. Denver Health’s Level 1 Trauma Center, in particular, is one of the world’s leading trauma centers and has amongst the highest survival rates in the country. The trauma center sees 18,000 patients annually, 2700 of whom are admitted, and many of whom arrive as transfers from any one of 60 regional hospitals. The trauma service is extraordinarily academically productive with millions in grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and United States Department of Defense (DoD). The seminal text “Trauma” was authored by Denver Health faculty.

As Colorado’s primary safety net institution, Denver Health provides the full spectrum of medical services from primary to oncologic care. Serving one third of the city of Denver, as well as patients from outside Denver, Denver Health provides primary care services via a citywide network of community health centers, school-based health clinics, and is now in the middle of building a 6-story 293,000 square foot outpatient medical center. Inpatient services are housed in multiple campus buildings with 555 pediatric, adult, and OB/GYN beds. Denver Health is committed to serving all patients, regardless of the ability to pay.

Denver Health is affiliated with the University of Colorado School of Medicine. All faculty at Denver Health have University appointments, and some also deliver care at the University campus as well. Faculty have access to the academic and cultural resources of Denver Health and the University.

Position Summary

Denver Health, in collaboration with the University of Colorado, is seeing a fellowship-trained, CAQ eligible/certified Interventional Radiologist to join the division at the level of an Assistant, Associate, or full-Professor, depending on the level of experience. The ideal candidate will have a record of clinical excellence, strong teaching abilities, and scholarly interests.

The candidate being sought will participate in the delivery of outpatient and inpatient interventional radiology care. Given the volume and strength of the trauma service at Denver Health, there is an emphasis on providing advanced, cutting edge, and highly collaborative care of trauma victims. The full gamut of IR procedures, however, are performed at Denver Health, including oncologic IR and other more recently developed techniques. Denver Health has a robust IR consult service and is aiming to further develop additional services as warranted by growth, including a more fully-fledged outpatient clinic.

Denver Health interventional radiologists participate in the education of University of Colorado medical students, radiology and IR/DR residents, and fellows. There is a strong desire to continue to expand IR educational offerings.

The Department values patient-centered care and a highly collaborative work environment. There is a strong working relationship with trauma surgery, multiple surgical subfields, and emergency medicine.
