Medical Student Experiences

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.

Fourth-year medical students are provided a myriad of opportunities when it comes to Radiology. We offer Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology electives, individual and research studies, away and international rotations, and a Pediatric Radiology rotation at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Please feel free to reach out to Alexis Reynolds, our Medical Student Education Manager, with any questions.
