They have a dedicated classroom where they receive specific instruction in the basic principles of Radiology, including Physics and Radiation Protection. The residents receive basic training in GI, GU, Chest, US, CT, Neuroradiology, Pediatric Radiology, and Nuclear Medicine. This means that for the entire first year, any ultrasound images presented at daily conferences will be a mysterious blur to the resident who has yet to rotate through ultrasound. This allows our didactic and noon conferences to be given at a higher educational level, aimed at the second, third and fourth year Radiology residents, because all of the basic information will have been addressed in the Fundamentals Cours e. The residents attend the Fundamentals Course two days a week, from July through December.
All residents attend a morning lecture given by faculty using a two-year curriculum.
This ensures that the most important concepts in each of the ten radiology subspecialties are presented to the residents twice during residency. These conferences are usually unknown case discussions in small group settings. For instance, if a Resident is rotating on the musculoskeletal service at Hermann Hospital, they attend the monthly rheumatology conference. Our residents take call commensurate with their level of training. You should speak with Mrs. Lea Roberts or Dr. Sandra Oldham, Program Director.
