Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program
Program Overview
While virtually all of our residents go on to do fellowships and many end up in academic or other non-community settings, the primary goal of the residency is to enable our trainees to become outstanding board certified radiologists who can function easily in busy and diverse practice settings.
Outstanding patient care is our first priority and is the example we want to set for our trainees. Diverse patient and disease exposure at oncology and transplant rich university and pediatric hospitals, level 1 trauma and community exposure at a large urban county hospital, and large regional veterans hospital experience, is the cornerstone of the educational program with appropriate didactics and other educational resources. There are abundant opportunities for research, professional society and administrative involvement to round out the resident’s education.
