Introduction
This is an intensive Six months course which involves musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal radiology participation in ultrasound, CT, and MRI as well as performing and interpreting musculoskeletal CT, MRI, ultrasound, and radiographic studies. There is a 40% component of non-musculoskeletal imaging work which must also be done during this fellowship to keep in touch with routine diagnostic activities.
-
Responsibilities
- Protocoling, monitoring and interpreting CT and MR imaging studies under senior faculty supervision.
- Effectively communicating study results by timely signing of reports and appropriate direct communication to physicians.
- Complete at least one original research project as principal author with the purpose of preparation of a manuscript suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal
- Present academic work at local, national or international scientific meetings
- Teach diagnostic radiology residents as well as residents from other clinical services and medical students
