Call Benefits Meet the Residents Residency Training Program Success and opportunity set apart the Vanderbilt University Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program.
Opportunity is afforded in a broad range of academic endeavors.
Success can be measured by examination results and fellowship and employment appointments. The Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences offers appointments that begin July 1 and are renewable yearly, subject to satisfactory performance and progress during the previous year. All residents must have first fulfilled the clinical year requirement as defined by the American Board of Radiology. All residents are then required to spend a full four years in diagnostic radiology in order to obtain American Board of Radiology certification. The residency training program is designed to provide graded instruction and responsibility ranging from an introduction to the basics at the start of the first year, to clinical observation in preparation for evening and night call, and concluding with intense preparation for the American Board of Radiology examination.
