What is a per diem radiologist?

A Per Diem Radiologist is a medical professional who works on an as-needed basis, interpreting medical images like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. Unlike full-time or part-time radiologists, per diem radiologists fill in for staff shortages, high patient volumes, or specific shifts. This role offers flexibility in scheduling but may not include benefits like health insurance or paid time off. It is ideal for radiologists seeking supplemental income, diverse work experiences, or work-life balance.
