Our growing and diverse practice has the breadth, depth, and scale for faculty at any career stage and with general or specialized interests, with both all-clinical and clinical-academic pathways available. We emphasize mentorship and career and leadership development. Above all, our group values our commitment to our patients, colleagues, and the other members of our radiology team, providing exceptional care in a collegial environment.

The Division of Musculoskeletal Radiology of the University of Michigan provides comprehensive state-of-the-art imaging and imaging-guided interventional procedures of the musculoskeletal system, including MRI, MR arthrography, MSK US, CT, CT-guided RF ablation of osteoid osteoma, DECT, and radiographs. We are a regional sarcoma referral center, and we perform dailyCT- and US-guided biopsiesof bones and soft tissues. Other procedures include fluoroscopic, and US guided joint and bursal injections and aspirations, US guided tendon sheath injection, calcific tendinitis lavage, tendon fenestration and platelet-rich plasma injection, and neuroma injection.

The case mix in our practice includes general and subspecialty orthopedics, musculoskeletal tumors, trauma and joint reconstruction, spine and peripheral nerve, primary care, rheumatology, and sports medicine with the latter related to our role in caring for the collegiate athletes at the University of Michigan and other elite athletes. We have a busy MSK US practice encompassing both diagnostics and interventions;

therefore, some degree of MSK US experience is desired, but we will provide direct supervision and training as needed. In addition to 4 musculoskeletal fellows per year, we have 2 physician assistants, 2 patient care tech associates, and multiple reading room coordinators on our team, providing abundant clinical and logistical support for the MSK service.

The Musculoskeletal Radiology Division is active in research and teaching, within the Department of Radiology, Michigan Medicine, and at a national level. Our faculty speak at the major national and subspecialty meetings. There is ample opportunity for faculty to teach and mentor medical students, residents, and musculoskeletal fellows. There are also several interdisciplinary conferences, such as weekly sarcoma tumor board, and monthly rheumatology, sports medicine, family medicine, and multiple myeloma conferences.

We offer competitive compensation and generous benefits, with ample time for vacation, meetings, and professional development. Michigan Medicine provides a robust faculty development program. Michigan Medicine is embedded within the University of Michigan, which is consistently rated in the top public universities in the country; opportunities for collaboration with other schools within the university, such as business and engineering, are limitless.
