Licensing Agency

Hawaii licenses physicians through the Hawaii Medical Board and regulates radiation safety and facility oversight via the Department of Health. Geographic isolation increases reliance on teleradiology and on clear privileging and credentialing standards for remote readers. Employers expect American Board of Radiology certification and documented continuing competence for radiologists practicing in the islands.

Continuing Education

Renewal requires continuing medical education attestation and documentation of continuing competence. Radiologists follow American Board of Radiology maintenance requirements and state continuing education rules for license renewal. Health systems provide targeted continuing education and quality improvement programs adapted to island practice.

Salary Ranges

Diagnostic radiologist three hundred sixty thousand to six hundred fifty thousand per year | Interventional radiologist four hundred twenty thousand to eight hundred thousand per year | Neuroradiologist four hundred thousand to seven hundred sixty thousand per year | Mammography specialist three hundred twenty thousand to five hundred sixty thousand per year
