Residency Information and Highlights

One of the strengths of the teaching program is the extensive interaction between staff and residents. More than 100 clinical faculty members and over 30 PhD research faculty are dedicated to the education of future radiologists.

• Residents participate in twice-daily educational conferences, as well as experience hands-on learning at PACS workstations and through direct patient interactions
• Residents participate in multidisciplinary conferences with faculty and other clinical services
• Residents and faculty members learn and participate in research initiatives, including presentations of individual projects during the two-week Hudson Research Lecture Series
