Interventional Radiology | Up to $800K Floor | $200K Retention Incentive | 100% IR

Practice 100% Interventional Radiology without mandatory diagnostic reading competing for your time. Join a high-demand, full-spectrum IR program where strong APP support allows physicians to spend the majority of their day performing procedures across a broad vascular, nonvascular and interventional oncology practice. 

The department is recruiting another permanent IR physician to strengthen the team, reduce locums reliance and support an established procedural volume of approximately 6,200 cases annually. Physicians are encouraged to bring new techniques, technology and ideas to the program, with an existing team willing to proctor and support development of specific skills when appropriate. 

Stroke thrombectomy capability is an important component of this search. Ideally, the incoming physician will already be independently performing basic stroke thrombectomy cases. Physicians with previous stroke training who are willing to proctor/re-establish their skills in-house will also be considered. Neuro-interventional trained physicians are welcome, with an anticipated practice mix of approximately 20% neuro / 80% general IR.

Build Your Life Along the Missouri River 

Bismarck–Mandan offers something increasingly difficult to find: the resources of a growing metro without the friction of a major city. North Dakota’s capital sits along the Missouri River, giving physicians easy access to the outdoors while remaining the healthcare, commercial, governmental, and cultural center for a much larger region. The connected metro has grown while retaining short commutes, making it possible to live throughout much of the area and still stay close to both work and recreation. Families have access to the state’s largest public school district as well as private and parochial alternatives. Convenient commercial air service keeps the community connected when it is time to travel, while the surrounding landscape provides plenty to do closer to home in every season. Add North Dakota’s low individual income-tax structure, and Bismarck offers a practical financial and lifestyle alternative to larger metropolitan markets.
