Radiologist

Practice Overview

Uintah Basin Medical Center in Roosevelt, Utah, wishes to add a full time radiologist to the Hospital. Currently, we have one full time radiologist that is musculoskeletal fellowship trained and six additional part time radiologists that read remotely. We also have a part time PA that performs some interventional procedures. The Hospital has an additional campus in Vernal that services a stand alone ED as well as a full complement of radiology modalities, ie.,

1.5 tesla MRI, 64 slice CT, digital radiology, and ultrasound. The hospital would like to add mammography screenings and dexa at the Vernal location, but needs the second radiologist to do so. The radiology department is generating approximately 36,000 wRVUs annually.

Roosevelt is located in Northeastern Utah in an area called the Uintah Basin. It is made up of three counties, Duchesne, Uintah, and Daggett. There is a total population of 60,000 people, primarily in Duchesne and Uintah Counties.
