Job Description
Radiologist - Musculoskeletal
Spectrum Healthcare Partners is seeking a
Board Eligible/Board Certified Diagnostic Radiologist with Musculoskeletal fellowship training to join our highly profitable, progressive Radiology group. The successful candidate will also have strong general radiology skills and basic interventional skills. You will join our established group of 18 radiologists to provide primary coverage at hospitals serving Eastern & Coastal Maine communities.
Along with a generous compensation and benefits package, this full-time position offers a two-year to partnership track opportunity, and very reasonable call expectations. All our new associates enjoy 10 weeks of vacation per year, increasing to 12 weeks/year for all partners, with opportunities for up to 16 weeks/year or more as schedules allow.
Our group operates on a fair and equitable work model, with near equal division of labor and benefits between all partners and associates; we do not believe in overburdening the newer members of our practice. We do not track RVUs and individual productivity, as we believe it is not to the benefit of patients, and often results in an overly competitive environment. We are very proud of the camaraderie we have built in our practice. The successful candidate will value collegiality, work ethic, collaboration, and a reasonable work/life balance.
Our Practice We are the dominant group in this region with minimal competition in our area, and numerous expansion opportunities. We serve a variety of hospitals, from our largest hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, which recently underwent an extensive $300 million expansion and serves as the primary referral center in the region with 411 beds, to small regional hospitals, providing a variety of patient populations.
There are 3 main orthopedic groups associated with EMMC with numerous other small orthopedic groups affiliated with our smaller hospitals. Our MSK radiologists enjoy a friendly working relationship with our orthopedic surgeons, who are extremely appreciative of subspecialty expertise. You will also have the opportunity to expand and develop the portfolio of MSK interventional services if so desired.
Bangor, Maine Bangor is perfectly situated in Maine—allowing physicians to enjoy world-class sailing, kayaking, cycling, hiking, and skiing all nearby. In addition, Bangor offers big city amenities like a strong arts community, a retail district, high-quality dining, Division 1 college sports, and one of the best school districts in the state. Portland is an easy 2-hour drive south, and Bangor International Airport offers direct flights to New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington D.C., Orlando, Tampa/St. Petersburg, and Charlotte.
Bangor is also notable for a diverse ethnic, religious and cultural community with former and current J1 waiver physicians contributing to substantial background diversity. The flagship university in the UMaine system, University of Maine in Orono is located minutes away, which draws tens of thousands of students of various nationalities.
Spectrum Healthcare Partners welcomes applications from physicians requiring H1B visas and seeking J-1 CONRAD 30 waivers. A few of our radiologists, and many of our colleague physicians in the area, are current or former J-1 waiver physicians. Bangor is an ideal location for a J-1 waiver practice site; we are officially designated as a Medically Underserved Area/Population (MUP), but with the amenities of a big town/small city, and a population of over 150,000 in the metropolitan area. Maine is also one of the least restrictive and competitive states for CONRAD 30 J-1 waiver applications.
In addition to Maine's very permissive/flexible and radiologist-friendly CONRAD-30 waiver process, J1 waiver applicants are also eligible for the alternate
NBRC (Northern Border Regional Commission) waiver which has similar permissive and radiologist-friendly rules in Maine, but without any fixed yearly state quota. Between the CONRAD-30 and NBRC waiver options, the J-1 waiver process is easier than ever for radiology applicants to our region of Maine.
