I have not seen any PP jobs that care about level 3. I do not know of any private guys doing MRI. That's all at academic centers. Most that I've seen don't do CTA either.Whats the scope for a non-invasive COCATS level 3 MRI/ECHO/Nuc/CTA trained cardiologist in a private setting (hospital based)? Does level 3 in imaging help one in private practice (hospital based) where paychecks depend upon RVUs one generates? Most cardiologists employed by hospitals read their own echos, nucs and CTAs, so the imaging guy doesnt really get any extra volume. I am not sure what MRI volume is like in private practices?.
Any comments?
Maybe if you look into going to a hospital that has no cardiology service at all then the level 3 might matter for running the echo/nuc lab...I'm not sure.
