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. This is a 1-year non-ACGME accredited fellowship with 2 positions. 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 learn the latest advances in techniques in abdominal radiology including utilization of high-field strength MRI, dual-energy CT, and contrast enhanced US. Fellows will interpret a wide range of studies including prostate MR, rectal cancer staging MR, MR elastography, MR and CT enterography, transplant imaging, CT colonography and MR/CT oncologic staging. There is an opportunity to rotate through our busy biopsy service during an elective month.
Fellows can attend a myriad of multidisciplinary conferences and may present at some of the conferences. Fellows will be expected to work some weekends throughout the year with one post call day given the subsequent week. Currently there are no evening call obligations. Conference days and funding are available.
Program overview
The Accelerated 9-Month Abdominal Imaging Fellowship is a non-ACGME accredited program offering two positions per academic year. This track is designed for high-performing residents already accepted into the standard fellowship and emphasizes advanced training in abdominal MRI.
Key curriculum features include:
- Removal of non-abdomen elective blocks
- Reduced ultrasound and fluoroscopy rotations based on early competency
- Flexible CT, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy rotations tailored to fellow experience
- Completion of the full didactic curriculum through a more frequent schedule
- Continued teaching opportunities and participation in multidisciplinary conferences
Example rotation breakdown on 4-week rotations
- MRI 4 rotations
- CT 3 rotations
- US 3 rotations
- Fluoroscopy/Xray/CT 1 rotation
- Elective 2 rotations
How to apply and requirements
Eligibility for the accelerated track is limited to trainees already accepted into the standard fellowship, typically during PGY-4.
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Graduation from residency with superior performance milestones
- Completion of a 3-month abdominal imaging mini-fellowship or equivalent
- A letter of recommendation from the residency Abdominal Imaging Division Chief
- Passing the ACR Core Radiology Exam
Applications are accepted during the first month of fellowship, allowing time for outside trainees to explore the program. Selection is based on standardized performance metrics, clinical readiness, and alignment with the accelerated curriculum.
To complete the accelerated fellowship, fellows must demonstrate competency in MRI, CT, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy. Monthly evaluations replace the standard quarterly reviews and include:
- Assessment of readiness for independent practice
- Determination of continued eligibility for the accelerated track
Fellows must achieve graduation-level performance on all metrics and cannot receive 'below expectations' ratings. If a fellow does not meet these standards by the end of the 9-month period, they will transition to the standard 12-month fellowship track.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2026-2027 academic year and for 2027-2028 academic year, starting November 1, 2025. Applicants must have completed or be scheduled to complete a Diagnostic Radiology residency prior to their desired start date. Applicants must also be able to obtain a full and unrestricted Ohio medical license prior to their start date. Selected candidates will be invited for a personal interview with the program director, current fellows, and other faculty.
Application must include:
- Fellowship Application
- CV
- Personal statement
- 2x2 headshot photo
- Official USMLE (request through usmle@fsmb.org) and/or COMLEX scores (request through NBOME)
- Copy of medical school transcript
- Three recent letters of recommendation (within one year) emailed to Kristina.Camp@osumc.edu
The American Board of Radiology and the Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments (SCARD) has set the following dates:
- November 1, 2025: first day to accept applications for 2027 appointment
- January 12, 2026: virtual interview period begins
- March 31, 2026: virtual interviews completed
- July 1, 2027: Academic year 2027-2028 Abdominal Imaging fellowship begins
