Rotations

Body_SystemsEach rotation is a four week block of time. The first six rotations in the first year of residency consist of rotations that are considered core services, because these rotations offer a broad exposure to topics in our curriculum, initiating training and experience in the major imaging modalities and preparing a resident for general on-call duties. These rotations include the thoracic, abdominal, ultrasound, musculoskeletal, neuroradiologic, and nuclear medicine services. In general, we attempt to arrive at the following distribution over four years: abdomen - 4 rotations, chest - 5 rotations, ultrasound - 3.5 rotations, musculo- skeletal - 4 rotations, neuroradiology - 5 rotations, nuclear medicine - 5 rotations, mammography - 3.5 rotations, pediatrics - 3 rotations, angiography - 4 rotations (includes coronary angiography), OB ultrasound - 1 rotation, pathology (AFIP) - 1.0 months, cardiac - 2-4 weeks, research - 5 rotations, emergency - 2.25 rotations, night float (call) - 2.25 rotations, elective - 2 rotations. (There is a $1000 Stipend for the 4 week AFIP rotation in Washington, D.C.)
