What is Pediatric Interventional Radiology?

Pediatric Interventional Radiology is a specialized field of medicine where minimally invasive, image-guided procedures are performed on infants, children, and adolescents. Using technologies like ultrasound, CT, and MRI, pediatric interventional radiologists treat a wide range of conditions, such as vascular malformations, tumors, and organ abnormalities, without the need for open surgery. These procedures often result in less pain, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional surgery. The specialists work closely with pediatricians and other healthcare providers to offer tailored care for young patients.

What are some common challenges pediatric interventional radiologists face when working with young patients?

Pediatric interventional radiologists often encounter challenges such as adapting procedures to smaller anatomies, ensuring patient comfort, and communicating effectively with both children and their families. Procedures may need to be modified to accommodate age-specific considerations, and sedation or anesthesia is often required to minimize movement and anxiety. Additionally, close collaboration with pediatricians, anesthesiologists, and nursing staff is essential to provide holistic and safe care for young patients.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Pediatric Interventional Radiologist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Pediatric Interventional Radiologist, you need extensive medical training including a medical degree, radiology residency, and specialized fellowship in pediatric interventional radiology, along with board certification. Expertise in advanced imaging modalities (such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI), image-guided procedures, and familiarity with specialized pediatric equipment is essential. Exceptional communication, problem-solving abilities, and a compassionate approach to working with children and their families are critical soft skills. These competencies are crucial to ensure safe, precise, and empathetic care for pediatric patients undergoing complex minimally invasive procedures.

What is the difference between Pediatric Interventional Radiology vs Pediatric Radiology?

AspectPediatric Interventional RadiologyPediatric Radiology
CredentialsMedical degree, radiology residency, fellowship in interventional radiologyMedical degree, radiology residency, fellowship in pediatric radiology
Work EnvironmentPerforming minimally invasive procedures using imaging guidance, often in hospitals or specialized clinicsInterpreting pediatric imaging studies like X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds, mainly in diagnostic settings
Employer & IndustryHospitals, imaging centers, specialized pediatric clinicsHospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, academic institutions

While both roles require specialized training in radiology, Pediatric Interventional Radiologists focus on performing minimally invasive procedures, whereas Pediatric Radiologists primarily interpret diagnostic images. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus within pediatric radiology specialties.

Job description

Due to growth and alignment with institutional commitment to well-being of the faculty, the Section of Pediatric Interventional Radiology at Phoenix Children's is recruiting a full-time pediatric interventional radiologist.

The Section performs over 7500 image-guided procedures per year and is currently staffed by 4 dedicated pediatric interventional radiologists. IR physicians, inpatient/outpatient services, and clinics are supported by 5 IR APPs and a Care Navigator. We perform a vast array of interventions, including but not limited to vascular access, treatment of vascular malformations, hepatobiliary procedures, enteral procedures, musculoskeletal procedures, angiography, embolization, and DVT/PE lysis. Additionally, we have a dedicated pediatric neurointerventional radiologist. The Section has a long and rich history of sharing our clinical excellence with internal and external teaching. We participate in numerous multispecialty programs at Phoenix Children's, including a vascular anomalies clinic. Phoenix Children's has many centers of excellence, including the Heart Center, Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders, and Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children's. Additionally, we have active solid organ and bone marrow transplant programs.

The IR department currently includes two Philips DSA rooms (one with biplane), dedicated ultrasound in each room, an IR-only pre-procedure area, and a consult room. Expansion with an additional biplane DSA room is expected in 2027. There is a separate minor procedures room that is equipped to handle low-complexity procedures. Subspecialized pediatric anesthesiologists provide anesthesia services. There is a strong working relationship between the IR nurses, technologists, and physicians.

The Division of Radiology consists of 31 full-time radiologists subspecialized into Body, Neuro and IR sections. Participation in research is encouraged and supported by a radiation physicist/imaging scientist and a dedicated research coordinator. Radiology faculty are eligible to hold appointments to the University of Arizona College of Medicine (Phoenix), Mayo Clinic, and Creighton University School of Medicine (Phoenix). An active program of teaching and research includes 3 ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology fellow positions, 2 additional non-accredited fellow positions (Neuro and PIR) as well as fellows, residents, and medical students from affiliated radiology programs.

Phoenix Children's main campus is a freestanding 533-bed Level 1 children's hospital and is the largest pediatric facility in the Southwest USA.

Minimum requirements:

* MD or DO degree, or equivalent

* Completion of an ACGME-accredited diagnostic or interventional radiology residency

* Completion of ACGME-accredited Pediatric Radiology or Adult Interventional Radiology fellowship (if completed diagnostic radiology residency)

* Completion of a Pediatric Interventional Radiology fellowship (ideal, but negotiable - the last hire completed an ACGME IR/DR residency with no supplemental fellowship)

* ABR certified or eligible

* Eligible for licensure in Arizona
