About Ohio State’s Abdominal Imaging Fellowship

The Abdominal Imaging Fellowship Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is committed to providing a balanced educational experience to fellows in every aspect of abdominal and pelvic imaging. We provide service to all affiliated hospitals except for Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Our parent institutions are the University Hospital, the James Cancer Hospital, and OSU East. Fellows will have the opportunity to interact with a number of outpatient ambulatory sites.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2023-2024 academic year and will begin accepting applications for 2024-2025 academic year on August 1, 2022!
