About this role
Summit Physician Specialists is seeking a Radiology Service Assistant to serve as a key operational link in their Salt Lake City radiology department. You would manage communications between radiologists, technologists, and referring providers while monitoring imaging worklists to ensure studies are complete and ready for interpretation. The role involves coordinating urgent and after-hours requests, communicating critical findings to ordering physicians, and troubleshooting workflow issues—essentially keeping the radiology operation running smoothly across a 24/7 service.
The position requires comfort with medical terminology and healthcare systems, though a medical assistant background is preferred rather than required. You'll work part-time on Thursdays, every other Sunday, and Friday/Saturday swing shifts, collaborating with PACS and IT teams when technical issues arise and maintaining detailed documentation throughout. This is an in-office role in Salt Lake City; while some remote work exists, the company prefers local candidates due to in-person training needs.
This role suits someone organized and detail-oriented who thrives in a fast-paced clinical environment, can manage multiple priorities without losing track of critical information, and communicates clearly under pressure. If you're comfortable with healthcare workflows and shift-based scheduling, this could be a solid entry or mid-level position in radiology operations.
