Radiology Residency Program
The following description is a broad outline of the Radiology Residency Program. All prospective residents are encouraged to visit Mount Auburn Hospital to see our facilities, meet our staff, and discuss the training program with current residents.
Residents are typically assigned in four week blocks to one of the different modalities. Early in training, residents are expected to read extensively, master anatomy, participate in the protocolling and interpretation of patient examinations, and to participate in discussions concerning diagnostic problems. Residents advance to increased levels of responsibility, and sound judgement as a radiologist is established during overnight call.
