Last accreditation was in 2001 and we received no citations. Our next accreditation will take place in 2006. We receive approximately 500 resident applications per year, and we interview between 90 and 100 applicants for the eleven resident positions.
Interviews are by invitation only.
For that reason, senior medical students applying to our Radiology program must also apply independently for a transitional or preliminary year to be completed before starting Radiology Residency. In effect, we fill our positions 2 years in advance. LBJ Hospital is operated by the Harris County Hospital District, and provides medical care to all patients regardless of ability to pay. LBJ has been in operation since 1989 and it is fully staffed by the University of Texas Houston Health Science Center. All work done by the residents is supervised, however as they progress through the residency, residents have graduated responsibilities commensurate with their knowledge.
