In addition to the daily teaching performed while interpreting examinations, performing procedures and providing consultation to clinicians, daily educational conferences provide education in general and subspecialty topics in radiology.
Most of these conferences are taught by faculty, but radiology fellows and upper-level residents occasionally provide instruction.
All residents are excused daily from their clinical responsibilities from noon to 1 p.m. to participate in the daily noon conference, a valuable form of radiology instruction and one of many ways residents are prepared for the boards and in-training examinations.
Physics conferences
A weekly physics conference curriculum takes place over six months each year, taught by our physicists and geared toward both a practical understanding of radiological physics and preparation for the ABR examinations.
Multidisciplinary conferences
Residents participate in a multitude of oncology multidisciplinary conferences where input from multiple subspecialties determines the optimal course of therapies for the patient. These include bone and soft tissue, breast, chest, endocrine, gastrointestinal, head and neck, CNS, pancreas, colorectal and liver tumor boards.
Joint-case conferences are also held with the Pathology Residency and Medicina de emergencia programs.
Business of Radiology curriculum
This conference is held every other month and cover health care changes, healthcare economics, government relations and business development.
Visiting professorships
Both the annual Baldwin Lectureship series and the annual Sears Seminar lecture series bring in nationally acclaimed radiologists as guest speakers.
