Residency Program - Academic Experience
|
|
Academic Experience  Residents begin with an orientation and progressively assume greater responsibilities in
utilizing the diagnostic tools necessary for the
completion of radiologic consultation and the
interpretation of studies. Residents begin to
build a foundation in the terminology used in
reports and the approaches for sophisticated
procedures such as interventional biopsy,
abscess drainage, and angiogram. During
rotations through nine subspecialty areas in
diagnostic radiology, residents receive instruction
and reference materials that reinforce their daily
experiences. Each section provides reading lists and many offer
their own library facilities. Each section has established knowledge-based and procedure-tested goals that residents must meet before assuming greater responsibility for patient care. Each resident's progress is evaluated monthly.
Hands-on experience is reinforced by a core curriculum that focuses upon the nine clinical subspecialty areas. Faculty and visiting professors provide daily didactic sessions. Support for each of the clinical subspecialties comes from both diagnostic faculty and our research and physics faculty who offer thorough general and radiological physics followed by physics appropriate for radiography, CT, ultrasound, and MRI. A full course in radiation protection and radiology biology is offered annually. Residents also attend and present conferences in clinical subspecialties such as oncology. |
