Vice Chair of Operations, Department of Radiology – Boston, MA
Tufts Medical Center’s
Department of Radiology is seeking a
Vice Chair of Operations (VCO)
to join our growing Department in the heart of downtown Boston. The VCO is a clinical leader responsible for day‑to‑day operational aspects of the department, including managing budgets, ensuring efficient workflows, contributing to strategic planning, and collaborating with other departments. The VCO will participate in departmental and institutional committees related to quality and safety.
The Department of Radiology at Tufts Medical Center (TMC) provides high‑level academic radiology services in downtown Boston. TMC is a level‑I trauma center with expanding transplant services including live donor liver transplant, renal, and cardiac transplants. Advanced cardiac imaging services are growing in collaboration with the Cardiology department. Neuroradiology with advanced imaging techniques and a state‑of‑the‑art MRI scanner is also a strong point. We provide exceptional cancer patient care through multiple service lines including thoracic, breast, GI, GU, hepatobiliary, hem/onc, GYN, head and neck, and CNS. We also provide comprehensive imaging services covering chest, abdominal, MSK, breast, and nuclear medicine imaging.
For the clinical component, the VCO will join a clinical section based on subspeciality interest and preferred practice area in one of the diagnostic radiology sections (preferred practice area: abdominal imaging, cardiothoracic/cardiovascular imaging, musculoskeletal imaging).
We have an ACGME‑accredited Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program with a complement of 22 residents who gain a wide variety of experiences, particularly from trauma, stroke, transplant, and cancer imaging. We received “continued accreditation” by ACGME this year. The department offers an ESIR pathway for interested residents. We also have two fellowship programs (ACGME NST programs) – MRI fellowship and Emergency and Trauma Radiology Fellowship.
Position Summary The VCO will be responsible for optimizing clinical operations based on the departmental vision. They will be an expert in clinical radiology to deliver excellent patient care and provide dedicated teaching and mentoring of our radiology residents and fellows. The role will manage the day‑to‑day clinical operations of the Department, including encompassing diagnostic radiology. The VCO will execute and oversee physician staffing and scheduling, catalyze interactions among radiologists, technologists, nurses, and admin staff, including non‑radiologist physicians, and optimize workflow. They will coordinate the clinical operations with our educational programs and work closely with the Chair to support the core missions of the Department. The VCO will report to the Chair and collaborate with the Vice Chair of Quality, Section Chiefs of the Department, Executive Director, Director of Clinical Administration, Chief of Technologists, and the Radiology Residency/Fellowship leadership team.
Tufts Medical Center and Tufts Medicine With anticipated growth of academic radiology at Tufts Medical Center and system‑wide radiology within the Tufts Medicine System, there will be an expansion of services and imaging volumes in the near future, allowing the VCO to craft the Department’s clinical service to be a regional, national and international leader.
