Mayo Clinic radiologists and staff provide the highest quality diagnostic and interventional imaging services in a caring and efficient manner, while sustaining outstanding programs in research and education. 

The Department of Radiology is fully integrated with all the medical services available at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida. More than 60 radiologists and physicists cooperate with hundreds of support staff to provide diagnostic and therapeutic radiology services to patients. Experts in all areas of radiology consult with specialists in other departments to provide "the best care to every patient through integrated clinical practice, education, and research," as reflected in Mayo's mission statement.

Radiologists work with state-of-the-art equipment, assisted by skilled technologists and nurses, to perform and interpret more than 320,000 examinations each year. This large number of cases, integrated with ongoing research and education, results in wide-ranging expertise in the imaging and treatment of diseases affecting patients of all ages.

From the director

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida. We are a collegial group that loves what we do. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but take great pride in taking care of our patients, referring providers, and trainees.

The day-to-day work ranges from routine sports injuries to complex tumor cases. The diagnostic imaging we interpret ranges from radiographs to PET/MR. The procedures we perform range from joint injections to tumor ablations. Our fellows receive ample opportunity to participate in patient care, education, and research. The strong collaborative relationship between Mayo Clinic Florida’s musculoskeletal radiology division and our colleagues in orthopedic surgery, endocrinology, and rheumatology, amongst others, fosters a unique and excellent educational environment.

This fellowship program will provide you with all the tools you will need for a successful career in academia or private practice. We hope you will consider joining us for this important part of your radiology training.

Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship Program Director

Faculty

In addition to caring for patients in clinical practice, Mayo Clinic's faculty is committed to teaching and facilitating the growth of medical knowledge. Many of our faculty members have published and lectured extensively and are highly regarded in their fields. You work closely with these individuals throughout your training in the Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship.

Artificial intelligence

Our Musculoskeletal Radiology faculty in Florida is dedicated to advancing knowledge and research in artificial intelligence. We have a dedicated Center for Augmented Intelligence in Imaging in our department led by a team of radiology faculty. We have recently acquired a new NVIDIA DGX A100 Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) server to assist our faculty and trainees in our ongoing AI research efforts.
