Interventional Radiology Physician Assistant
Vascular & Interventional Partners (ViP) is Arizona’s only comprehensive Interventional Radiology private practice. The group wants to add a highly motivated and enthusiastic Physician Assistant (PA) to our practice. ViP is a growing, multi-specialty radiology practice with 7 radiologists and 5 Advanced Practice Providers (APP), providing comprehensive imaging services in inpatient and outpatient settings.

In the hospital, high-level procedures including Stroke Thrombectomy, TIPS placement, trauma embolization, and complex venous reconstruction are routine.

Under the direction of a supervising physician, the APP will be responsible for performing image-guided procedures, including but not limited to venous access, biopsies, paracentesis, and tube exchanges.
