Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist

Essential Imaging. Academic Medicine. Real Impact at the Point of Care.

Diagnostic Radiologic Technologists at UVA Health are trusted clinical professionals whose work directly informs diagnosis, treatment decisions, and patient outcomes across the continuum of care. This role offers the opportunity to practice high‑quality diagnostic imaging in a nationally recognized academic medical center where precision, collaboration, and patient‑centered care are core to everything we do.

Where Your Expertise Meets Purpose

Radiologic technologists are often the first to translate clinical questions into answers. At UVA Health, that responsibility comes with the support of advanced technology, respected clinical leadership, and a culture that values your expertise. This position is well‑suited for technologists who want meaningful clinical work, professional growth, and the opportunity to contribute within an academic health system that sets the standard for imaging excellence.

The Role

As a Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist, you will perform diagnostic imaging procedures that support patient care, medical education, and clinical research across a diverse patient population. You’ll work in close partnership with radiologists, physicians, nurses, and fellow technologists to deliver accurate, timely imaging that drives high‑quality care.

In this role, you can expect to:
  • Perform diagnostic radiographic examinations using established protocols to ensure image quality, patient safety, and diagnostic accuracy
  • Prepare, position, and educate patients to support comfort, cooperation, and optimal imaging outcomes
  • Operate and maintain imaging equipment, ensuring adherence to radiation safety standards and departmental quality guidelines
  • Apply clinical judgment to adapt positioning and technique based on patient condition and clinical indication
  • Communicate effectively with radiologists and care teams to support timely interpretation and coordinated care
  • Contribute to a collaborative department culture that values professionalism, accountability, and continuous improvement

The pace of the work is steady and purposeful, balancing technical precision with patient interaction. An average day may include imaging for routine diagnostics, complex medical conditions, and urgent clinical needs, all while supporting the broader mission of an academic medical center.

Why UVA Health

UVA Health is a Magnet‑recognized academic medical center and Level 1 trauma center where diagnostic imaging plays a critical role in patient care, education, and discovery. Radiologic technologists here are valued as essential members of the care team, not just operators of equipment.

What sets this opportunity apart:
  • Academic Medicine Environment: Work alongside expert radiologists, residents, and interdisciplinary teams in a teaching hospital where learning and clinical excellence go hand in hand
  • Advanced Imaging Resources: UVA Health Radiology supports a broad range of diagnostic and specialty imaging services using modern equipment and evidence‑based protocols
  • Meaningful Clinical Impact: Diagnostic imaging is foundational to nearly every specialty at UVA Health, making this role strategically important across inpatient, outpatient, and specialty care settings
  • Professional Respect and Collaboration: Magnet culture emphasizes teamwork, shared decision‑making, and respect for allied health expertise
  • Stability with Growth: As part of a large, integrated health system, technologists benefit from long‑term career pathways, internal mobility, and exposure to varied clinical environments

Relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates, supporting those who are considering a move to join UVA Health and its Radiology team.
