Radiologist - Breast Radiologist - Bangor, Maine

Spectrum Healthcare Partners is seeking a Board Eligible/Board Certified Diagnostic Radiologist with Breast / Women’s Imaging fellowship training to join our highly profitable, progressive Radiology group. The successful candidate will also have strong general radiology skills and basic interventional skills; this is primarily a general radiology position with part focus on women’s imaging. You will join our established group of 18 radiologists to provide primary coverage at hospitals serving Eastern & Coastal Maine communities. With recent and upcoming new sites of coverage, we aim to expand our group further over the next year.

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.
 

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 (EMMC), 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. 

At EMMC, the Breast and Osteoporosis Center is dedicated to women’s imaging. We have a specialized breast radiology rotation in this center to interpret conventional and tomosynthesis mammograms and breast MRIs. We have a close and congenial working relationship with several surgical specialists, including two subspecialty breast surgeons, two surgical oncologists, and plastic reconstructive surgeons. At almost all of our other hospitals throughout Eastern Maine, tomosynthesis is widely available and constitutes more than 50% of our mammography volume. Ultrasound, stereotactic, and MRI guided biopsies are all offered.

Location:  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 J-1 waiver physicians contributing to substantial background diversity.  The flagship 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.
