Interventional Radiology Technologist (Rad Tech) - Internal Traveler Program

Advanced Procedures. High Acuity Care. Academic Medicine at Its Best.

Interventional Radiology Technologists at UVA Health are integral members of a highly specialized, physician led care team, delivering minimally invasive, image guided procedures that directly change the course of patient care. This role is ideal for technologists who thrive in complexity, value precision, and want to practice in an academic medical center where innovation, teamwork, and clinical excellence are the standard.

A Role That Matches the Complexity of Your Skills

Interventional Radiology is where imaging expertise meets procedural medicine. At UVA Health, IR Technologists support a broad and sophisticated procedural portfolio in a fast-paced environment that demands technical mastery, critical thinking, and seamless collaboration. This position offers the opportunity to work at the top of your license while contributing to lifesaving, organ preserving, and quality of life-enhancing interventions.

The Role

As an Interventional Radiology Technologist, you will support diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures by preparing patients, maintaining sterile technique, operating imaging equipment, and assisting physicians throughout complex cases.

Your day-to-day work includes:

• Supporting a wide range of interventional radiology procedures, from vascular and nonvascular interventions to emergent and scheduled cases

• Preparing procedure rooms, imaging equipment, and supplies to ensure readiness for high acuity and time sensitive cases

• Positioning patients and operating fluoroscopic and related imaging systems to produce high-quality images that guide real-time clinical decision making

• Maintaining strict adherence to radiation safety, infection prevention, and sterile technique standards

• Anticipating physician and team needs during procedures to promote efficiency, safety, and optimal outcomes

• Communicating clearly with patients and families to explain procedures, reduce anxiety, and support a positive care experience

• Collaborating closely with interventional radiologists, nurses, anesthesia teams, trainees, and other allied health professionals

• Participating in quality improvement initiatives and supporting the academic mission through interaction with students and residents

An average day may include scheduled procedural cases, emergent add-ons, trauma-related interventions, and coordination across multiple clinical teams. The pace is dynamic, the work is hands-on, and the impact is immediate.
