RAD 400 - Radiology

During the elective students will spend their mornings participating in read-out sessions in the various subspecialties of Diagnostic Radiology, spending 1-3 days in each modality. Time devoted to the sub-specialties can be tailored to the special needs and interests of the participants, such as pediatric radiology, interventional and neuroradiology, etc. (based on availability). Required reading is a basic radiology text that will be distributed to the students the first day of their rotation. Afternoons the students will attend lectures given by both attendings and residents in Radiology. Time will be allowed for self-instruction, so that students may review the ACR teaching files, web-based learning tools and radiologic anatomy. Students are expected to attend all teaching conferences held in the department at 7:00 a.m. and noon. At the end of the rotation the student will prepare and present a short case presentation. A written and oral exam is given toward the end of the rotation.
