From the program director
Welcome to the Abdominal/Body Radiology Fellowship program in the Department of Radiology at Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
Our one-year, non-ACGME accredited program provides high-quality education and clinical training for graduates of diagnostic radiology residency programs. A focus of fellowship is multimodality (MRI, CT, and US) imaging of the gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary (GU), and gynecologic (GYN) systems, and we are committed to preparing fellows to be experts in the abdominal radiology specialty. At the completion of fellowship training, fellows are ready for independent practice in either academic or private practice settings.
Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona is a unique academic medical center that excels in our three shields mission including integrated clinical practice, research, and education. We have an accomplished group of attending physicians, many with national reputations and positions. Our radiologists, fellows, and residents work together in a collegial work environment across all GI, GU, and GYN disciplines to provide our patients with excellence in care.
Fellows and faculty often create a bond like a family. We hope you will be a part of our family, too. We invite you to explore our fellowship program and consider joining us. Thank you for your interest in our program.
