Imagen is seeking a certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) to join our onsite interventional radiology team supporting a hospital system across California's North Coast. This is a broad, high-volume procedural practice encompassing image-guided biopsies and aspirations, drainage procedures, vascular access, spine and musculoskeletal procedures, and a wide range of fluoroscopic and contrast-guided studies. You'll work alongside onsite radiologists and Imagen's physician-led radiology group in an integrated procedural practice focused on patient care, clinical collaboration, and a high quality patient experience. We're flexible on both schedule and home base. The role serves a health system spanning multiple hospitals across California's North Coast, allowing you to build a varied procedural practice while enjoying a predictable daytime schedule and the lifestyle of the North Coast.
Your Day-to-Day
You'll perform IR- and FL-guided procedures across a broad North Coast case mix. The bulk of the practice falls into five procedural areas:
Image-guided biopsies & aspirations - FL- and US-guided needle placement for biopsy, aspiration, and injection; fine-needle aspiration; bone marrow biopsy; percutaneous liver, muscle, and lymph node biopsies.
Fluoroscopic contrast studies - Barium swallow, esophagram, upper GI (single and double contrast), small bowel follow-through, double-contrast colon, retrograde urography, cystography, HSG, and common bile duct / biliary studies.
Image-guided drainage - Paracentesis, thoracentesis, percutaneous fluid collection drainage (peritoneal, retroperitoneal, visceral, pleural), abscess and cyst aspiration, and drainage catheter management.
Spine, neuro & MSK procedures - FL-guided arthrograms (shoulder, hip, knee), joint injections and arthrocentesis (with and without US guidance), lumbar puncture with FL/CT guidance, myelogram injections, and FL-guided spinal injections.
Vascular access - FL-guided PICC line insertion and replacement, contrast evaluation of existing central venous access devices, and tunneled central venous catheter management.
