Medical Student Training

General Information

The Medical Student Education Program of the Department of Radiology is active in all four years of the medical student curriculum, training not only future radiologists, but also future physicians of all specialties. We realize that many of our students will not be going into Radiology, but all of our students will be using radiology as a tool in the care of their patients. Our goal is to provide a firm grounding in the basic knowledge and skills of our field as well as instruction on how to interact with radiology and radiologists to get the most benefit for your patients.
