The Practice
The Community Radiology Division is being built as a dedicated community practice, not simply an extension of traditional academic service obligations.
Radiologists will provide high-quality diagnostic interpretation and consultation within the designated Memorial Hermann community hospitals. Breast imaging, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, and overnight radiology are being developed as separate staffing streams, allowing the core diagnostic team to maintain a more clearly defined practice.
Technology-enabled workflow orchestration is intended to support fair case distribution, transparency, and increasing subspecialty alignment as the division grows.
Community radiologists will also have ready access to the broader UTHealth Houston academic radiology department when challenging cases require subspecialty consultation.
Who We're Looking For
We are seeking diagnostic radiologists who value:
Clinical excellence • Fair workload distribution • Transparent compensation • Collegiality • Professionalism • Clinical integration • Long-term career stability
The opportunity is appropriate for both experienced radiologists and physicians completing training. Candidates must meet applicable UTHealth Houston faculty appointment, credentialing, licensure, and employment requirements.
Why UTHealth Houston?
UTHealth Houston and Memorial Hermann have worked together for more than 50 years. This new Community Radiology Division combines that established clinical relationship with the infrastructure of UTHealth Houston and The University of Texas System.
The goal is straightforward:
Build an outstanding community radiology practice where physicians can focus on excellent clinical care, maintain meaningful relationships with referring clinicians, and build a sustainable long-term career.
