Medical Student Clerkships

The Department of Radiology is committed to the educational experience of medical students. We believe that radiology spans across all medical fields of study and adds depth to any specialty. We attempt to broaden our students' knowledge in order to mold superior physicians of the future.

Third and fourth year medical students are provided a myriad of opportunities when it comes to radiology. We offer a clinical radiology clerkship, individual studies, away and international rotations and a pediatric radiology rotation at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. We have also established an interventional radiology (IR) clerkship rotation as well.

Clinical Radiology Clerkship

Our Clinical Radiology Clerkship is designed around the department as a whole. During a four week rotation, students will have the ability to see radiology through the eyes of a specialist, while working with residents and faculty. The sections of focus include muskoloskeletal, neuroradiology, abdominal, chest, interventional, ultrasound and nuclear medicine. Medical students will have the chance to view the daily activities in the reading rooms in addition to patient care areas. Along with rotations, our students receive daily didactic lectures and case presentations from both residents and faculty. Students further advance their radiology education by producing a teaching file case and presenting it to the faculty, residents and other students on rotation.
Individual Studies
Interventional Radiology

The interventional radiology rotation is one that is clinically based and focused on patient care and teamwork. Participation is a must in the daily procedures, workup of consults, pre and post procedural patient care and inpatient rounding when appropriate. Experience consists of five full days in the interventional radiology lab during the week.
