OVERVIEW
The Radiology residency program is a clinically oriented academic experience providing a sound basis for any subsequent career in Diagnostic Radiology. Our goal is to train radiologists of the highest quality who are capable of assuming responsible positions in academic or private practice. Thus, in the application and interview process, we are looking for evidence of a high level of clinical competence, excellent communication skills, and a well-developed ability to work independently, efficiently, and congruently with others.
CLINICAL TRAINING
During the first year, all residents rotate through the same core rotations; Thoracic Radiology, Gastrointestinal/Genitourinary Radiology, Musculoskeletal Radiology, Emergency Radiology, Body CT/MRI, Ultrasound, Neuroradiology and Nuclear Medicine. A practical oral examination is given at the end of the first year to confirm expected competencies. During the second year residents gain additional experience in Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology procedures, Pediatric Radiology and Breast Imaging. A second practical oral examination is given covering the remainder of the core subjects.
During the third and fourth years of training, residents receive further experience in all areas, with progressive assumption of greater responsibility. Sufficient elective time is available to ensure that all residents can obtain additional experience in areas of special interest including research.
Introductory Seminars
During the initial two months of training, the new Diagnostic Radiology resident is presented with a series of seminars to accelerate the acquisition of basic skills and concepts in Diagnostic Radiology. These provide the resident with important information of early use in their clinical radiology training.
Teaching Conferences
The academic faculty provides 45-60 minute teaching conferences daily at each practice site. These conferences are generally case based and focus on a specific radiology topic. A typical monthly schedule can be found on the resident lecture website.
Working Conferences
Working conferences occur daily at all sites and involve radiology residents presenting and discussing cases of interest to hospital clinical teams.
Categorical Courses
The program is unique in providing a weekly Categorical course for Diagnostic Radiology residents – two hours of lectures in a subspecialty area by section faculty. Each subspecialty section is responsible for one month of lectures each year. A clinical case conferences or a grand rounds program follows the categorical courses. The current monthly lecture schedule is available online.
Physics Course
A comprehensive course in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Physics is provided through a year long, weekly lecture series.
Radiology-Pathology Training
Instruction in Radiology-Pathology correlation is through the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology six-week course.
FELLOWSHIPS
Fellowships are available following residency training in all clinical specialties including Breast Imaging, Musculoskeletal Radiology, Chest Radiology and Emergency Radiology. The Residency Review Committee for Radiology has also approved fellowships in Neuroradiology, Abdominal Imaging, Angiography/Interventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Pediatric Radiology; finishing fellows are eligible for certification by the American Board of Radiology.
