Curriculum

About


Residents are given increasing independence as they advance through the residency. Active staff teaching and supervision are integrated throughout the program.

Residents participate in daily departmental conferences and also attend several interdepartmental conferences weekly. As residents gain experience and confidence, they present current cases during departmental conferences.

Clinically oriented research is also considered an integral part of training in diagnostic radiology at our institution. Ample opportunities are available for participation in clinical research and quality assurance/outcome studies. One or two months are dedicated toward this endeavor, and there is abundant ancillary support and senior staff guidance on all research projects.
