Within the first few months after completing the Abdominal/Body Radiology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic, I quickly realized the sheer amount of knowledge and confidence I had gained throughout the year. In retrospect, it is not surprising given the repetition of complex cases and a wide range of pathology, combined with world-class radiologists who are passionate about educating others. In addition, active participation in a variety of multidisciplinary conferences provided an opportunity to learn clinical relevance, receive valuable feedback, and most importantly positively impact patient care.

Regino Cube, M.D.

After the fellowship, I took a full-time position as a staff radiologist at the Phoenix VA which I found to be a reasonable fit given my prior years spent in the military healthcare system. The position provides a good combination of working in body imaging with GI colleagues and fellows, in addition to spending time at the only breast imaging Center of Excellence in the entire Veterans Health Administration. The Phoenix VA has several practitioners performing interventional work who also coordinate care with colleagues at other local institutions to provide the best outcomes for our veterans. In my off time, I do occasional contractor work at a university-based setting in Florida as well as other practices in the Phoenix region.

The abdominal fellowship at Mayo Clinic gave me extremely comprehensive training in all of the subspecialty MRI techniques and exams. Additionally, I was able to learn from leaders of the field in an environment that was welcoming of questions, which pushed my skills to the next level while remaining a welcoming and fun place to work. I was also able to tailor my fellowship to the other abdominal skills that I needed for my job, including additional training in CT and fluoroscopy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that prepared me very well for my staff position and I would highly recommend it!
