Residency Program in Radiology and Medical Imaging
Residency ProgramWelcome to the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging. We offer a four-year ACGME-accredited residency training program in diagnostic radiology—one of the most diverse and interesting disciplines in the field of medicine. Our Residency training program is considered one of the best in the country. Admission is highly competitive for the 10 resident positions available each year. One of the 10 positions is reserved for those interested in a dedicated research training experience and developing an early foundation for an academic career. Two of the ten residency positions are designated for applicants who want to pursue a career in Vascular and Interventional Radiology (VIR). We were one of the first to offer this sub-specialized VIR Residency training pathway and the program has been remarkably successful. Our GoalOur goal is to develop the residents’ clinical skills, interpretive ability, and competence, and encourage critical thinking and creativity for sound clinical practice. Residents are exposed to every phase of radiology in our eight divisional specialty areas and learn a disciplined approach to medical problem solving and decision making. A comprehensive understanding of medical imaging techniques is emphasized, followed by hands-on experience that will challenge residents to assume greater responsibilities as the training progresses. FacultyOur dedicated faculty are committed to producing the next generation of outstanding clinical radiologists. Many of our faculty members are nationally and internationally acknowledged as experts in their subspecialty areas of practice, having made widely recognized contributions to clinical care, the education of trainees, and innovative imaging research. The Department currently consists of 47 full-time Clinical Faculty, 13 Research Faculty, 40 Residents and 25 Fellows and Instructors in training. State-of-the-art imaging equipment is available in the main hospital, the Outpatient Cancer Center, and in the Outpatient Diagnostic Imaging Centers at the Fontaine Research Park and the Northridge Transitional Care Facility. ResultsUpon completion of training, residents will be well prepared to perform and interpret diagnostic and therapeutic imaging procedures and be acquainted with numerous investigational procedures. They will be able to serve as consultants in the appropriate selection of diagnostic exams. And above all, they will possess a genuine empathy for the overall well being of patients, residents, faculty, and staff. If there are questions about our program, please let us know. We appreciate your interest and look forward to hearing from you. ContactsSaher Sabri, M.D. Spencer B. Gay, M.D. Brandi T.
