Part of the neuroradiology rotation is given at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and provides unique exposure to radiology of the eye, ear, nose, and throat. Oncoradiology training is centered at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, adjacent to Brigham and Women's Hospital. This experience affords an overview of radiology with pathology correlation. The program includes six months of elective time. The trainee may obtain additional clinical training in a subspecialty of radiology or may carry out a research project under direct staff supervision.
Residents participate in all radiologic examinations performed in the department.
As part of the preview system, the resident reviews each case initially, comes to conclusions and then considers the case with a staff member in a teaching exchange. Invasive and interventional procedures are carried out by residents under supervision by either staff or fellows. As each resident advances through the program, independence and responsibility increase in accordance with individual ability. Applicants with PhD-level training are encouraged to apply for specially designed programs to facilitate extended research training and experience. A five-year program is also available for those interested in developing skills in clinical or laboratory investigation, as well as innovative teaching methods, in preparation for an academic career.
