Dr. Trojan shares his journey from a private IR-DR blended practice to becoming directly employed by a hospital, highlighting the financial challenges, contract negotiations, and administrative dynamics along the way. He explains the growing loss of IR talent to lucrative diagnostic contracts and emphasizes the importance of advocating for IR’s value to hospital systems, from decreasing length of stay to supporting ECMO, trauma, and transplant services.
