Abstract

Over the past two years at our large academic center, we successfully developed a formal remote academic radiologist division - composed of permanent fully remote radiologists across multiple subspecialties, living geographically distant from our institution. In this article, we share our experience implementing a remote radiologist division, review the benefits and challenges of this approach, discuss expectations of academic remote radiologists as clinicians, educators, and scholars, and provide tips for success.

Keywords: Remote academic radiology; Remote radiology; Remote teaching.
