Radiologist Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a radiologist in Colorado?
To practice as a radiologist in Colorado, you must hold a valid medical license issued by the Colorado Medical Board, which requires graduating from an accredited medical school, completing a residency in diagnostic radiology, and passing the USMLE or COMLEX series. Most Colorado employers also expect board certification through the American Board of Radiology. Subspecialty fellowship training strengthens candidacy significantly in competitive markets like Denver.
How much do radiologists make in Colorado?
Radiologists in Colorado earn a median of about $344,270 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $129,370 for the lowest 10% to over $684,280 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire radiologists in Colorado?
Employers hiring radiologists in Colorado right now include University of Colorado, Denver Health, and Radiology Partners, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers tend to post the most consistent volume of radiology openings year-round.
Which Colorado cities have the most radiologist jobs?
The cities with the most radiologist openings in Colorado are Denver, Aurora, and Parker. Denver and Aurora drive the bulk of demand through their concentration of major health systems and academic medical centers, while Colorado Springs supports a steady secondary market anchored by large regional hospitals serving the southern Front Range.
Are there remote radiologist jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields, because diagnostic radiology is well suited to teleradiology work. About 50% of radiologist openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the role's image-reading nature. Preliminary reads, overnight coverage, and subspecialty second opinions are the segments most commonly performed remotely.
How can I get hired as a radiologist in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a residency with a Colorado-affiliated program, such as those run through UCHealth or the University of Colorado Hospital, which regularly transition residents into staff positions. New graduates should target staff radiologist postings at community hospitals and outpatient imaging groups in smaller Front Range cities where competition is lower. Obtaining Colorado Medical Board licensure early and securing DEA registration before interviews are the credentials that give new applicants the clearest hiring edge.
Where can I find and apply to radiologist jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to radiologist jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across hospital systems, imaging centers, and teleradiology groups. Search the listings, find the roles that match your specialty and experience level, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
