46-55 hours per week
The MAJORITY of private practice radiology jobs average around a 45-50 hour work week with a call every 7 to 14 days. There is also the 8-12+ weeks of vacation a year. There are PLENTY of situations out there where you don't have to work the crazy hours that umsami's dad does. We work from 7:30 in the morning till about 5:00 at night, and other radiologists work longer hours in some places, but that’s our normal work day. And then once a week I’ll be on call for general radiology, and I usually get a call about every 15 minutes. As for me (and the majority of other radiologists out there), I really like what I do, but I also enjoy too many other things in life to be at work more than 50 hours a week. I also think getting paid 500 year is plenty, and don't see a point in committing myself to work to make 800 a year. ScooterBanks, 08.23.07. #9. A non-interventional radiologist who worked 40 hours a week at the annual salary of $461,250 reported by the AMGA would earn $221.75 per hour. An interventional radiologist with a similar work schedule would earn $236.59. If she worked 53 hours, however, her earnings would be $167.36 per hour for non-interventional radiology and $178.56 for interventional radiology. Most full-time radiologic technologists work about 40 hours a week; they may have evening, weekend or on-call hours. Opportunities for part-time and shift work are also available. An average yearly salary for a radiologist with less than 5 years of work experience is about $157,909 while a radiologist with work experience ranging from between 6 to 12 years receives an annual salary of about $422,400(this is an extreme and proBably happening only in Texas). About one third of radiologists spent 30-45 hours per week seeing patients, nearly the same as in last year's survey. Another quarter of respondents spent 46-55 hours per week, and 26% spent less than 30 hours per week with patients (about the same as last year).
