Diagnostic Radiology Residency

In the first two months of the academic year, an introductory course is given in general diagnosis. This program includes formal lectures in normal radiographic anatomy, basic diagnosticDuring the first month of the academic year, the “R1 Boot Camp” lecture series is given to acclimate our new residents to the various aspects of learning radiology including workflow, radiology report crafting, the multitude of imaging modalities, introduction to various subspecialties, and how to hit the ground running as a successful R1. During the first two months of the academic year, the abdominal imaging “Summer Lecture Series” morning conferences serve as an introductory and refresher course for both the residents and incoming abdominal imaging fellows. Additionally, an intensive course in radiologic physics is given during the summer of each year to first- and second-year residents

For the remainder of the year, a one-hour teaching conference in diagnostic interpretation is given daily at noon, Monday through Friday, by the attending and fellow staff. These conferences are in each of the major radiology subspecialties and include a mixture of didactic lectures and case conferences, and several utilize a live audience response system. Specialty specific multidisciplinary conferences are attended in the mornings by residents rotating through that specialty (i.e. Neuroradiology Interesting Case Conference, Metastatic Uveal Melanoma IR/MR Conference, Hepatocellular Carcinoma Body Imaging Conference, Body Imaging Interesting Case Conference, etc).

Our Departmental Radiology Conferences are held at noon on every Wednesday of the month except for the second Wednesday.  These consist of the following:

1. Grand Rounds covering topics of interest in all radiology subspecialties, presented either by the departmental faculty or by invited outside speakers.
2. Radiology research conferences presented in a unique Journal Club format.
3. Chairman series, including a Business in Radiology lecture set.
4. Quality Assessment and Quality Improvement Conference.
