RP Chicago, a Radiology Partners practice, is currently seeking board-certified or board-eligible General/Emergency Radiologists for flexible weekend, remote 1099 opportunities. This position offers the freedom to work from home with a highly adaptable schedule that is not shift-based, ideal for radiologists seeking autonomy and work-life balance.
