Clinical Curriculum

Above is an outline of our 4 year clinical curriculum

• First year residents rotate through all of the core sections within radiology except breast imaging, with a focus placed on foundations of radiology.

• In the second year, residents spend more time at our Saint Raphael Campus, which pairs residents and attendings 1 on 1, and incorporates multiple imaging modalities into a single rotation. This allows trainees to review fundamentals from the R1 rotation, and to learn to interpret more advanced imaging studies. R2 residents take 4 weeks of overnight call in the main hospital ED.

• In the R3 year, as trainees focus on preparing for the CORE exam, they rotate through each core section again to shore up their knowledge. In the first half of the year, R3 residents will take 4 weeks of overnight call at the Saint Raphael Campus.

• The R4 year is extremely flexible and includes 9 blocks of elective time. Residents usually spend this time doing mini-fellowships to prepare for their upcoming fellowship year, or gaining in-depth skills in a second subspecialty for their future practice. R4 residents take overnight call at the Saint Raphael Campus in the second half of the year to allow R3 residents to focus on the CORE.
