About this role
The Department of Medical Imaging at St. Michael’s Hospital (SMH) and the University of Toronto are recruiting a full-time, fellowship-trained, academic radiologist into their Cardiothoracic and Abdominal Divisions. The successful candidate will be assigned an academic position description based on their teaching or research strengths and must be eligible for a full-time clinical academic appointment at the rank of Assistant / Associate / Full Professor. The anticipated start date is January 1, 2027.
SMH is a member of the Unity Health Toronto network, and is a busy, 463-bed quaternary care academic centre, and one of four principal teaching hospitals of the University of Toronto. Within the University of Toronto, the Department of Medical Imaging has distinguished itself with recognized excellence in undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate teaching, as well as research. The successful candidate will join a collegial and subspecialty academic practice which supports our mission of excellent patient care, delivered in a positive and constructive work environment, with close multidisciplinary collaboration across cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, respirology, general surgery, gastroenterology, urology, gynecology and other clinical programs.
The role offers excellent compensation and opportunities for professional and career growth. This is the ideal role for a self-starter and a team player and will offer the opportunity to excel in interaction with patients, colleagues, staff, and management, and excel in a high-volume environment with a commitment to high-quality patient and family centered care, continuous quality improvement, research and teaching. This recruitment is for a hybrid role within both the Cardiothoracic and Abdominal Imaging divisions, but expected to be predominant in the Cardiothoracic division. In this role, the successful candidate will report all types of cardiothoracic and abdominal imaging studies performed at SMH.
The Cardiothoracic Imaging practice encompasses Cardiac CT (Coronary CTA, Structural Heart CT [including CT for transcatheter aortic, mitral, and tricuspid intervention], CT for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery), Cardiac MRI (including tissue mapping and adenosine stress perfusion), and Chest CT (supporting the Division of Respirology, which includes the largest outpatient TB clinic in Toronto, The National Cystic Fibrosis Centre [largest program in North America], the HHT program [largest Canadian centre], and other subspecialty clinics). Unity Health Toronto, including SMH, is now an official participant site in the Ontario Lung Cancer Screening Program and we have an active lung cancer screening CT program as well.
The Abdominal Imaging practice encompasses high-acuity and complex abdominal and pelvic CT and MRI, including oncologic, hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, postoperative, emergency and trauma imaging; advanced gynecologic and pelvic MRI, including pelvic floor imaging; and a broad range of abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, including advanced doppler and gynecologic ultrasound.
There are 3 dedicated IR suites and 2 dedicated neurointerventional suites, 9 ultrasound units, 4 CT scanners (2 dual-energy whole heart volume CT scanners), 4 MRI scanners (all with cardiac imaging packages), and 1 PET-CT scanner (already operational with Ontario Health approval for both cardiac and oncologic applications) at SMH.
The hospital houses the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute and the Keenan Research Centre that provides excellent research support and affords many opportunities for radiologists to engage in inter-departmental, collaborative translational research in Medical Imaging. There are significant resources in support of the Department of Medical Imaging’s internationally recognized AI research work.
The position includes a significant opportunity for advancement in clinical leadership and research in Cardiothoracic and Abdominal Imaging, both at the University of Toronto and at SMH. The successful applicant must hold an MD or equivalent and will have completed residency training in Diagnostic Radiology and fellowships in both Cardiothoracic Imaging and Abdominal Imaging. The successful candidate will join the Divisions of Cardiothoracic and Abdominal Radiology in the Department of Medical Imaging at SMH, and participate in the on-call roster covering these specialties. They will be expected to participate in radiology resident rounds and in multi-disciplinary team meetings/rounds including Structural Heart Rounds. They will supervise trainees at the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate levels in their area of formal fellowship training, including but not limited to the dedicated clinical Cardiothoracic and Abdominal Fellowship programs at SMH each year. They must be eligible for medical licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ontario and for certification with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or have comparable qualifications. Evidence of excellence in teaching and research is required.
