Our department’s facilities and equipment are state-of-the-art. Our case mix includes a high volume of unusual and rare cases. Our faculty have a stellar reputation and are highly productive – many are leaders and innovators in their fields. And there is room for new faculty to grow and advance in their careers, pursuing their clinical and research goals with institutional support.
Don’t take our word for it – learn more about why current faculty chose UVA Radiology for the next step in their career and life:
(My colleagues) knew a lot of the faculty members here – their scholastic abilities, but also the fact they they are very personable and had great friendships and camaraderie. Plus good word of mouth and a strong research reputation.
We love just the sense of community (in Charlottesville) – it’s a small area with tons of things to do. Everyone was always very friendly and welcoming to us when we were here the first time, and everything is very close by.

UVA Radiology strongly believes that employees from different backgrounds bring different skills, expertise, and experiences to bear on clinical, research, teaching, and administrative work. The department is particularly interested in supporting those faculty members, employees and trainees who come from groups and backgrounds that have historically been underrepresented in medicine.
To these ends, the department has created numerous initiatives including the UVA Radiology Residency Diversity and Inclusion Fund; the 4th-Year Medical Student Scholarship; various sponsored activities for Pride Month, and the Ladyologist program, which provides female radiologists with a supportive space to share experiences and learn from one another.
