We are committed to remaining independent and providing the highest level of care to our patients. We value diversity on our team and promote a culture of inclusion. 

What we do: ARS provides services to more than 60 different sites across the state of Michigan with a combination of on-site and remote teleradiology reading in our central offices and homes. We are the exclusive radiology provider to West Michigan’s largest Level I trauma center and research hospital, Corewell Health. Corewell has a full array of multidisciplinary programs in heart transplant, lung transplant, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer screening program, sarcoidosis, and thoracic medicine and surgery programs serving patients with structural heart disease (TAVR, TAMR) HCM, heart failure, and lung cancer. We are expanding PET-CT services in our distributed radiology network. 

What we are looking for: We are seeking a full-time Thoracic Radiologist. This is an outstanding opportunity for someone to join the group of advanced lung imaging readers in our Grand Rapids Corewell Health site. This candidate will join 3 cardiothoracic fellowship trained radiologists and a large group of body fellowship trained radiologists who subspecialize in thoracic imaging. This is a partnership track position working 39 weeks and 11 weekends. We also offer flexible staffing options including a no-weekend/holiday alternative track option. This can be a hybrid position for a Thoracic – Body imaging as well if desired with at least 50 % of the time spent in Thoracic imaging.

· Interpret all aspects of thoracic (pulmonary ) imaging including high-resolution chest imaging, chest CT, lung cancer staging and post treatment, lung cancer screening and post lung transplant 

· Participate in Multidisciplinary Team Conference duties

· Support medical student and resident teaching and scholarly activities

· Participate in Body/ER section rotations as preferences and skills allow and as desired

Requirements:

· American Board of Radiology or American Osteopathic Board of Radiology certified

Why is our practice unique? We strive to offer the best of both worlds- private practice flexibility and compensation with academic options. In affiliation with Michigan State University College of Medicine, our radiologists have opportunities to teach and mentor residents and pursue research if desired. Due to the size and breadth of the healthcare systems we support, diagnostic volume and variety of clinical exposure is unrivaled. We find that entrepreneurial minded physicians who value involvement in decision making and developing our business strategy fit well. Participation in section, committee and board meetings is not required but welcomed from day one. 

Compensation/Benefits: We offer a competitive salary/bonus and opportunities for additional income by picking up shifts on a month to month basis. Our physicians pay nothing for medical/dental/vision coverage and enjoy an $18,000 medical reimbursement account annually. We also contribute the maximum amount allowed to the 401K plan ($66,000 in 2023). We offer 13 weeks of vacation for our standard track positions and we are continually striving to improve the work/life balance for our physicians.
