The Body Imaging Fellowship provides advanced training in various aspects of body imaging and interventions within outpatient and hospital radiology settings. The core curriculum includes body MRI, CT- and ultrasound-guided procedures, and diagnostic CT and ultrasound.
Rotation schedule
| Rotation | Length |
|---|---|
| Body MRI | 17 weeks |
| Image-guided biopsies | 4 weeks |
| Body CT | 6 weeks |
| Ultrasound | 6 weeks |
| Body imaging selective | 4 weeks |
| Radiology elective | 10 weeks |
| Research | 4 weeks |
| Orientation | 1 week |
Electives
The broad range of electives accommodates special interests and talents. The four weeks of selective time allow fellows to choose additional time in any of the body imaging rotations. Radiology elective choices include but are not limited to:
- Musculoskeletal MRI
- Cardiac MRI and CT
- PET/CT and PET/MRI
- Breast imaging
- Interventional ablations
- Neuroradiology
- Additional time in body imaging
- Additional research time (based on project approval)
Didactic training
Clinical conferences, didactic lectures, online resources, and one-on-one instruction are integral parts of the Body Imaging Fellowship.
- You attend weekly fellow conferences that include didactic lectures, journal club, and interesting case conferences.
- You develop presentation skills through journal club presentations, lectures to residents, and case-based conferences.
- You lead weekly tumor board meetings to improve interdisciplinary care skills.
Research training
Mayo Clinic offers excellent research opportunities, supported by protected research time. Experiences are customized to individual goals, with projects ranging from peer-reviewed articles to presentations at regional or national meetings.
Teaching opportunities
Fellows participate actively in resident education through daily clinical work and formal didactic lectures. Fellows prepare and present at least one didactic lecture or board review for residents during the year.
Evaluation
During the Body Imaging Fellowship, your performance is monitored to ensure you gain sufficient knowledge and develop the necessary technical skills to meet program expectations. Supervising faculty members formally evaluate you after each clinical rotation, and you meet with the program director to review these evaluations.
In addition, you regularly evaluate the faculty and program to confirm that your educational needs are being met.
