Each section provides reading lists and many offer their own library facilities. Each resident's progress is evaluated monthly. Hands-on experience is reinforced by a core curriculum that focuses upon the nine clinical subspecialty areas. Faculty and visiting professors provide daily didactic sessions. A full course in radiation protection and radiology biology is offered annually.
Residents also attend conferences in clinical subspecialties such as oncology and autopsy.
Research Department of Radiology faculty are actively engaged in seeking the latest advances in diagnostic radiology through research. As part of the University Medical Center, the close collaboration between researchers and clinicians rapidly translates research findings into high-quality patient care. All radiology residents collaborate with a faculty mentor to create a research paper during the first two years of their residency. Residents are also encouraged to pursue interdisciplinary research initiatives and have access to a wide range of expertise available through The Ohio State University, the most comprehensive health sciences center in America. The full-time faculty of the Department of Radiology is based at The Ohio State University Hospitals.
