Sobre el programa


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.

PGY-2


Residents are introduced to the basic techniques of fluoroscopy and image interpretation. Following a period of observation, residents begin performing fluoroscopic examinations with staff supervision.

Second-year residents also rotate through:

  • GI/GU radiology
  • Chest radiology
  • Emergency radiology
  • Radiología musculoesquelética
  • Neuro CT
  • ultrasonido
  • MRI
  • Medicina Nuclear
  • Radiología pediátrica
  • Body CT

During the PGY-2 through PGY-5 years, residents spend four months in the Division of Nuclear Radiology, which is staffed by full-time physicians who are certified in nuclear medicine by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine. Their professional expertise is combined with advanced imaging equipment to provide training in performing various procedures and the interpretation of those procedures, including radionuclide therapy and PET/CT scans.

PGY-3


Residents are given more independence and instruction in more advanced procedures in the PGY-3 and PGY-4 years, during which they work closely with neuroradiologists and vascular interventional radiologists.

Four fully-equipped angiography suites (including two biplane neuroangiography units), five CT scanners and four magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners provide opportunities to learn sophisticated radiologic procedures.

At least three months are devoted to breast imaging. Training in mammography includes exposure to:

  • Mamografía de detección
  • La mamografía de diagnóstico
  • Localización de aguja
  • Biopsias estereotácticas
  • Ultrasound guided needle biopsies

The PGY-3 and PGY-4 years also provide ample opportunity for training in body imaging. A minimum of three months is spent in the ultrasound section, where residents gain experience in:

  • Ultrasonido abdominal
  • Pelvic ultrasound, including transvaginal sonography
  • Obstetrical ultrasound
  • Ultrasonido vascular
  • Small parts imaging
  • Pediatric imaging

Three months training in body computed tomography (CT) allows for experience in thoracic and abdominal imaging and includes exposure to standard computed tomography as well as advanced cross-sectional imaging.

Substantial experience in body MRI is available during three months of training on the body MRI rotation as well as three months at musculoskeletal radiology.

PGY-4


During the PGY-4 year, residents attend the AIRP Radiology Course in Silver Springs, Maryland. The institution pays for the residents' travel and registration fee and continues the resident salary during the course. A generous housing allowance is also provided to assist in the expense of room and board for the four-week course.

Residents are eligible to take the American Board of Radiology Physics core examination at the end of their PGY-4 year of radiology training.

PGY-5


The final year is devoted to further training in advanced procedures such as cardiovascular radiology, which includes interpretation of cardiac MRI and coronary CTA.

With the changes in the ABR certification exam structure, senior residents are allowed flexibility in scheduling rotations that are of particular interest to their long-term training goals.
