Clinical training
During the Body Imaging Fellowship, you receive advanced training in all aspects of body imaging and interventions in both outpatient and hospital radiology settings. The core curriculum focuses on body magnetic resonance imaging, CT- and ultrasound-guided procedures, diagnostic CT, and ultrasound.
Rotation schedule
| Rotation | Length |
|---|---|
| Body MRI | 17 weeks |
| Hospital procedures | 8 weeks |
| CT | 8 weeks |
| Ultrasound | 4 weeks |
| Ultrasound scan | 1 week |
| Elective | 10 weeks |
| Research | 4 weeks |
Electives
The broad range of electives accommodates special interests and talents. Elective choices include but are not limited to:
- Musculoskeletal MRI
- Cardiac MRI & CT
- PET/CT
- Breast imaging
- Interventional ablations
- Neuroradiology
Didactic training
Clinical conferences, didactic lectures, online resources, and one-on-one instruction are integral parts of the Body Imaging Fellowship.
- You participate in weekly fellow conferences that include didactic lectures, journal club, and interesting case conferences.
- You hone your presentation skills through journal club presentations, lectures to the residents, and case-based conferences.
- You lead weekly tumor board meetings to enhance interdisciplinary care skills.
Research training
Excellent research opportunities are available at Mayo Clinic. Engagement is highly encouraged and supported by available protected research time. Experiences are tailored to individual goals and areas of interest, with projects ranging from peer-reviewed articles to presentations of education posters or exhibits 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 for residents during the year. Some fellows also provide board review to the residents.
Evaluation
To ensure you acquire adequate knowledge and develop the appropriate technical skills to meet program expectations, your performance is monitored carefully during the Body Imaging Fellowship. You are formally evaluated by supervising faculty members after each clinical rotation and meet with the program director to review these evaluations.
In addition, you regularly evaluate the faculty to confirm that your educational needs are being met.
