Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center is hiring a fellowship-trained breast imaging radiologist to join an established team serving Louisiana's Acadiana region. This is a production-based role built around a Monday through Friday schedule with no call, giving you predictable hours and direct control over your earnings.

The position exists to meet rising demand. Patient volume has grown year over year, a local competitor was recently acquired, and more patients in the community are moving their care to Ochsner Health. The current team does not have enough radiologists to keep pace with that volume, and the backlog is growing. Your work would help build capacity for continued growth across a large geographic catchment area.
