Curriculum
Our Diagnostic Residency program offers a comprehensive curriculum that provides residents with superb clinical training and practice opportunities.
Radiology Curriculum
Our residency program observes thirteen 4-week rotations, instead of the traditional twelve-month-long rotations. The additional rotation allows our residents greater variety in their educational experience. Call rotations consist of two week-long 7-hour overnight shifts as well as two weeks of elective. R4 residents will additionally have up to 3 focused months in areas of their choosing.

Resident Teaching Conferences
Resident teaching conferences occur daily at 12pm. The conference schedule is based on the ABR Core Curriculum and include multiple lectures per month in each subspecialty. Given the ABR is reinstating the diagnostic radiology (DR) oral exam starting in 2028, an emphasis is placed on case conferences where residents refine their case presentation and image interpretation skills. Each division also provides a comprehensive R-level specific rotational curriculum that includes materials for asynchronous learning.
In addition to traditional teaching conferences, other resident conferences include quarterly Radiology/Pathology combined lectures, Personal and Professional Development (PPD) curriculum and Non-Interpretive Skills (NIS) lecture series.
Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards
All residents participate in multidisciplinary tumor boards on each of their core rotations, with senior residents presenting relevant imaging, further refining their case presentation and consultant skills.
Physics
Our residents participate in a comprehensive physics course that includes 3 live interactive lecture sets for R1-R3 residents, each running for ~12 weeks. Lectures include an audience response system with several ABR-style questions per lecture. This course includes a 4-day interactive board review for R3 residents.
