The Program requires an internship year as a prerequisite to residency training. The teaching program at The Mount Sinai Medical Center is a dynamic one that is responsive to these changes. We strive to provide our residents with the knowledge and skills that are required for any possible future experience in radiology that they might aspire to - including a research position at a university, clinical subspecialty practice at a major medical center, or a general radiology practice in a community setting. To achieve this goal, we teach residents with a combination of didactic lectures and participation at interactive resident conferences. We offer a comprehensive orientation lecture series for our new residents and provide an extensive resident conference schedule.
Interdepartmental conferences occur several times a day at Mt. Sinai and are open to all residents.
Residents rotate through various subspecialties from the very beginning of their training. Each subspecialty is under the supervision of a chief of section and additional faculty members. During early training, emphasis is placed on the interpretation in chest, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary radiology and emergency radiology. In addition, junior residents are exposed early on to a variety of subspecialty areas including Ultrasound, Body Computed Tomography, and Neuroradiology. All subspecialties approach resident teaching in a similar manner.
