Qualifications
To qualify for this position, you must meet the basic requirements as well as any additional requirements (if applicable) listed in the job announcement. Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met. Currently employed physician(s) in VA who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation.
Basic Requirements:
- United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy.
- Degree of doctor of medicine or an equivalent degree resulting from a course of education in allopathic medicine or osteopathic medicine. The degree must have been obtained from one of the schools approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the year in which the course of study was completed.
- Current, full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a State, Territory, or Commonwealth of the United States, or in the District of Columbia.
- Residency Training: Physicians must have completed residency training, approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in an accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification. (NOTE: VA physicians involved in academic training programs may be required to be board certified for faculty status.) Approved residencies are:
- (1) Those approved by the accrediting bodies for graduate medical education, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or American Osteopathic Association (AOA), in the list published for the year the residency, or fellowship if applicable, was completed; OR
- (2) One year of post medical school training (internship, first year of residency, or transitional year residency) approved by ACGME or AOA followed by two years of post-training independent practice (performing under a full and unrestricted license) in the United States; OR
- (3) Non-US residency training programs followed by a minimum of three years of verified independent practice in the United States (performing under a full and unrestricted license) performing duties related to the position they are applying for (United States fellowships would be creditable towards this requirement), which the local Medical Staff Executive Committee deems to have provided the applicant with appropriate professional training and believes has exposed the Physician to an appropriate range of patient care experiences.

Additionally, surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs.
- In rare and unusual circumstances, the Facility Director can submit a memo to the VISN Director through the VISN Chief Medical Officer, who may approve requests for reasonable exceptions to the residency training requirement for Physicians whose composite record of experience, accomplishments, performance, and qualifications warrant such action.
- Proficiency in spoken and written English.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in diagnostic radiologist jobs.
- MD or DO degree with completion of an accredited diagnostic radiology residency program
- Active American Board of Radiology certification or documented board eligibility
- State medical licensure in the state where the position is located
- Proficiency reading CT, MRI, ultrasound, and plain film across general and subspecialty cases
- Experience with PACS and RIS platforms used in clinical radiology workflows
- Fellowship training in a subspecialty such as neuroradiology, interventional radiology, or breast imaging
Tips for Your Diagnostic Radiologist Job Search
Tailor your CV to subspecialty demand
Highlight fellowship training and case volume for the subspecialty each position targets. A body imaging fellowship matters far more to a community hospital than a general list of modalities, so restructure your CV for each application rather than sending one version everywhere.
Target teleradiology roles for faster entry
Teleradiology groups hire diagnostic radiologists across experience levels and often post openings outside major job boards. If you're building your attending hours or transitioning from academic to private practice, these roles offer broad modality exposure and flexible scheduling that hospital positions rarely match.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists diagnostic radiologist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Get your board certification current before applying
Most hospital systems and imaging groups require active ABR certification or documented eligibility before extending an offer. Confirm your continuing medical education credits and Maintenance of Certification status are current so credentialing doesn't stall your start date after an offer is made.
Prepare case reads for technical interviews
Many practices include a read session with the hiring team, not just a panel conversation. Refresh your approach to dictating findings clearly and efficiently under observation, and be ready to walk through differential diagnoses on plain film, CT, and MRI cases relevant to the group's patient mix.
Negotiate call burden and RVU structure separately
Base compensation tells only part of the story in diagnostic radiology. Ask specifically about on-call frequency, overnight teleradiology obligations, and how RVU thresholds affect your bonus pool before accepting an offer, since these factors vary widely between academic, hospital-employed, and private group positions.
Diagnostic Radiologist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most diagnostic radiologists?
The companies hiring the most diagnostic radiologists right now include Radiology Partners, US Department of Veterans Affairs, and Optum, with the largest share of openings in Florida, New York, and Tennessee, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Teleradiology companies and large hospital systems consistently account for a significant portion of active postings.
How many diagnostic radiologist jobs are remote?
About 55% of diagnostic radiologist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote roles concentrated in teleradiology and nighthawk reading positions. Subspecialties such as general diagnostic reads, mammography interpretation, and preliminary overnight reads are the most commonly offered in fully remote formats, while interventional work remains predominantly on-site.
How do you become a diagnostic radiologist?
You complete medical school to earn an MD or DO, then match into a diagnostic radiology residency accredited by the ACGME, which runs four years after an internship year. Following residency, many radiologists pursue a one- to two-year fellowship in a subspecialty. You then pass the American Board of Radiology qualifying and certifying exams and obtain state licensure before beginning independent practice.
Can you get hired as a diagnostic radiologist with little experience?
Yes, but the realistic entry point is a position that aligns with your fellowship or residency training rather than a senior-level subspecialty role. Teleradiology groups and community hospitals often hire new attendings directly out of residency, especially in general diagnostic radiology. Highlighting case volume, modality breadth, and any quality improvement or research work from training strengthens an application when attending experience is limited.
What does the diagnostic radiologist interview process look like?
Most practices start with a phone or video screening with a physician recruiter or department chair, followed by an on-site visit that includes tours of reading rooms, meetings with current staff radiologists, and a conversation with hospital or group leadership. Many hiring groups also include a live or recorded case read session to evaluate interpretation speed, dictation clarity, and clinical reasoning before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to diagnostic radiologist jobs?
You can find and apply to diagnostic radiologist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your subspecialty, preferred setting, and location, then apply directly to each position that fits.
