Residency Program
Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiology Residency program has a total of 38 residents. Nine or ten appointments are made for each July 1st, renewable at yearly intervals for four years. Appointments begin after the completion of at least one year of post-graduate training in a clinical internship. Training in all subspecialty areas and modalities of radiology is offered, including a comprehensive experience with interventional techniques.
The Department of Radiology is dedicated to training top-notch clinical radiologists who will practice in a variety of academic and private settings. One of our goals is to train the next generation of academic radiologists, who will continue to contribute to the specialty and expand the frontiers of medical imaging. Opportunities for resident participation in basic and clinical research are provided. A majority of our residents pursue subspecialty fellowship training, both through the focused year during the residency and additional fellowship training. Many of our residents elect to stay at MGH for their fellowship training through one of several ACGME-certified fellowship programs.
Residents are evaluated after the completion of each rotation by a written report submitted to the Program Director by division members. These reports are reviewed with the resident by the Program Director in semiannual meetings. Residents are also encouraged to provide feedback of each rotation, and these recommendations are often quickly incorporated to further improve the program.
Trainees are assured opportunities to acquire a broad range of diagnostic skills in angiography and neuroradiology, as well as to participate in vascular embolization, percutaneous biopsies, abscess drainage, and other interventional procedures.
Residents actively participate in the Harvard Medical School Clinical Clerkships in Radiology at MGH, serving as teachers, tutors, and mentors to students enrolled in the clerkship and introducing medical students to the practice of radiology.
Second and third year residents serve as the radiologic discussant at Morbidity and Mortality Rounds in the Department of Medicine. The in-training examination prepared by the American College of Radiology is administered during the second and third year of residency. The results provide a self-evaluation of both the department’s and the resident’s accomplishments. Courses in both basic and advanced life saving (BLS and ACLS) are offered within the department periodically.
