Teleradiology services provider Virtual Radiologic (vRad) said it has appointed Dr. Benjamin Strong as its chief medical officer (CMO).
Strong joined the company as a teleradiologist in 2004, and served as a medical director within vRad's practice from October 2005 to October 2012. Prior to joining vRad, Strong worked as an emergency room physician for the Indian Health Service; as a private-practice radiologist for Inland Imaging in Spokane, WA; and as a clinical assistant professor of radiology for the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center, according to vRad.
Strong replaces Dr. Pat Basu, vRad's former CMO, who will be leaving the practice to join Doctors on Demand, a digital media and consumer-directed healthcare venture, vRad said.
