Mid Level Moonlighting Radiology Jobs in Chicago, IL

Three cases roll through the door in the same hour: a GDV mid-torsion, a dog hit by a car with a flail chest, a cat in status epilepticus. Your pulse doesn't spike. It settles, because this is the work you trained for.
If that's you, Veterinary Specialty Center wants to talk.
VSC is a 78,000-square-foot specialty and emergency hospital in Bannockburn, Illinois, about 40 minutes from Chicago. We're employee-owned, so the people running codes next to you at 2 a.m. are also partners with a stake in the outcome.
Why ER doctors stay at VSC

• Free ownership, real stake. Every employee joins our Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The shares cost you nothing. No buy-in, just the work you already do. It's a second retirement that is directly tied to our hospital's performance.
• You run the case. From triage to discharge, it's your call. No committee, no second-guessing from three departments away.
• Backup that actually shows up. Certified and specialty-trained technicians who anticipate your next move instead of waiting for instructions.
• Tools most ER doctors only read about. 3 Tesla MRI, 64-slice CT, hyperbaric oxygen, high-flow oxygen, and a full in-house lab, all under one roof.
• Specialists down the hall, not on hold. Need neurology, surgery, or critical care input on a case? Walk down the hall.

What you bring
A DVM or VMD and an Illinois license to practice. A calm head when three cases hit at once. Comfort making the call without a script to follow. The instinct to teach a technician something new mid-case because you can't help it.

Why Bannockburn
Chicago is 40 minutes away when you want a city night. The suburbs and forest preserves are right outside your door when you don't. Two international airports mean a quick flight to see family or disappear somewhere warm. Multiple regional surveys have ranked the Midwest among the least stressed, most community-oriented parts of the country. Ask anyone who's moved here from a coast.
