Start Your Career
on Your Terms.
You spent a decade training to read radiology. The job market answers with shifts, call, signing bonuses that lock you in for three years, and a schedule someone else built. There is a different door.
The Hospital Offer Is Not the Only Offer.
Most new rads take a hospital job because it is what everyone else did. Here is what you actually get if you read outpatient MRI on our platform instead.
Schedule freedom from day one
No shift roster to earn your way off of. No seniority ladder to climb for a Friday off. You set availability day by day, your first month and every month after.
Earn more, earlier
A hospital sign-on bonus looks large until you run the three-year lock and the clawback math. Expert Radiology offers a $5K signing bonus and a historical $500 to $900+ per hour contractor range without a three-year lock.
No hospital politics to navigate
You do not have to be the new hire who figures out the department coalition. No P&T. No committee rotation. Your Rad Advisor is your only political relationship, and it exists to help you succeed.
From Boards to Reading, Mapped Out.
Most new rads are surprised how quickly they get up to speed. Here is how the early ramp works.
Week 1: Hardware & Licenses
Reading station ships the day you sign. IMLCC and new state license applications go out in parallel. Malpractice with tail coverage activated.
Week 2: Rad Advisor & Onboarding
Matched with a practicing ExRad rad in your subspecialty. Workflow walkthrough, dictation training, first supervised reads.
Weeks 3–6: Mentored Reading
Full case access, early reads reviewed collegially by your advisor. Pace is yours to set. Feedback is for learning, not policing.
Day 90: Fully Independent
Reading at full pace. Advisor still available. Politics still zero.
The morning belongs to you again.
Coffee, a workout, your kids at the table.
Then a few hours of reads. Then off.
Your first reads
are mentored.
Every new radiologist is matched to a practicing Expert Radiology rad in their subspecialty. Not a help desk. A direct line to someone who reads the same cases, uses the same workflow, and genuinely wants you to succeed.

Questions residents
actually ask.
Honest answers. If yours is not here, book a call with Dr. Knapp and ask directly.
Residents cannot be hired to read independently until they are entering or completing fellowship, but we can start the relationship early. Many radiologists joined us within months of starting fellowship. What matters is that you are fellowship-trained, or actively training, in neuro, MSK, or spine-focused reads. We match you with a named Rad Advisor in your specialty, mentor early reads, and do not throw you at cases you are not ready for.
The opposite. You are reading subspecialty outpatient MRI every day, which builds pattern recognition faster than a general hospital shift mix. You keep your licenses, your board-certification stays intact, and the work counts toward your professional reputation the same way a hospital read does. What changes is the lifestyle, the pay structure, and the absence of call, nights, and weekends.
Neuro, MSK, and spine-focused reads are the cleanest fit for recent grads. About 75% of our volume is MRI, about 20% X-ray, about 5% CT. Roughly 98% is non-contrast. Outpatient only. If your fellowship was neuro or MSK, the volume fit is excellent from day one.
No. Most of our radiologists had no prior teleradiology experience when they joined. We ship a complete diagnostic-grade reading station, train you on our AI-assisted dictation workflow, and your Rad Advisor walks you through the first weeks of reads.
We handle everything. You keep the state licenses you already have, we pay for renewals, and we facilitate an IMLCC (Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission) application so adding new states is fast. If you are still in your final year, we can start the paperwork early so you are ready to read within days of your board exam.
Yes. There is no contract lock and no non-compete. Radiologists at Expert Radiology have taken on academic appointments, started second fellowships, and built their own side practices. The flexible schedule is built to accommodate exactly that.
We offer both W-2 and 1099. W-2 employees get benefits (health insurance, 401k, malpractice with tail coverage, paid licensure, paid CME). 1099 contractors get a higher hourly rate and control their own benefits. Either structure gives you job security through volume and reputation, not through institutional politics.
The process is designed to move in days, not months. Hardware ships after you sign, licenses and credentials move in parallel, and your Rad Advisor is assigned early. Your first cases are mentored, and pace ramps based on readiness.
