Job Summary
Refine and implement the quality and safety program for cardiac PET/CT across the network, establishing metrics, protocols, and standard operating procedures for acquisition, stress protocols, tracer handling, and interpretation. Serve as the subject-matter expert on accreditation requirements, supporting practices with documentation, QC records, and competencies while partnering with the Medical Director and Radiation Safety Officer. Run routine peer review and over-read programs, utilizing discordance analysis against invasive coronary angiography to drive corrective action on interpretation and quantification issues.

Apply core quality-improvement methodology to reduce variation and improve diagnostic accuracy, tracking performance over time to sustain gains.

- Proven experience developing and managing quality improvement programs for cardiac PET, including routine peer review and PET/CT-to-coronary-angiography correlation programs
- Experience defining and administering quality training and competency requirements for clinicians
- Strong, practical familiarity with what it takes to run a high-quality cardiac PET/CT program in a community practice setting, and a clear-eyed understanding of the common sources and drivers of care variation and poor-quality imaging
