Our Fellowship ProgramÌý
Our program admits one fellow per year and focuses on the use of all radiological modalities, with emphasis on the unique needs of children.
Because our program is based at a major pediatric hospital in a large metro area, you’ll have exposure to a wide range of patients as well as primary care pediatricians and pediatric care providers spanning the entire gamut of pediatric subspecialties who will share their knowledge of pediatric medicine. Our faculty includes many highly accomplished radiologists in the Delaware Valley and Florida. Under their supervision, you’ll complete rotations in plain radiography, fluoroscopy and cross-sectional imaging encompassing:
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Ultrasound (US)
- Neuroradiology
- Nuclear medicine
- Interventional radiology
- Cardiovascular imaging (CVI)
During these rotations, you’ll develop skills to evaluate sick children and to interact with other members of the clinical staff as well as patients and families. Daily work schedules and call responsibilities allow you to become experienced in performing procedures with staff supervision.
Didactics
