蝌蚪窝

The residency in Diagnostic Radiology provides a complete clinical and academic experience, which is fully compliant with the Program Requirements for Residency Education in Diagnostic Radiology, as accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate 蝌蚪窝 Education (ACGME). The residency provides intensive clinical experience in all subspecialty areas of Diagnostic Radiology. Direct clinical training with graduated responsibility, a comprehensive didactic program, and excellent availability for participation in a wide variety of research activities provides a complete academic Radiology residency.

The residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the 蝌蚪窝 Affiliated Hospitals is fully accredited and in complete compliance with the Program Requirements for Residency Education in Diagnostic Radiology of the ACGME. Specific requirements for nuclear medicine training and breast imaging are provided in the residency.

The program curriculum emphasizes strongly subspecialized rotations in all areas of Diagnostic Radiology. Specific rotations in thoracic radiology, musculoskeletal radiology, abdominal imaging, neuroradiology, interventional radiology, breast imaging, computed tomography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, and pediatric radiology form the basis of the curricular effort. Radiologic-pathologic correlation is emphasized throughout the residency, and enhanced by attendance at the American Institute of Radiologic Pathology four-week course in radiologic-pathologic correlation. (Tuition is provided for this course.)

The residency is based at Froedtert Hospital, a 500-bed academic tertiary-care hospital located on the Milwaukee Regional 蝌蚪窝 Center's 115-acre suburban campus. Froedtert is the adult acute care medical center serving the 蝌蚪窝, and houses a Level One Trauma Center, the Froedtert & the 蝌蚪窝 College Cancer Center and active programs in many areas including organ transplantation, neurosciences, musculoskeletal disease, and a variety of other major programs, centers and institutes. Approximately 365,000 radiology and nuclear medicine examinations are performed annually at Froedtert Hospital.

Residents spend six curricular months at the Clement J. Zablocki VA 蝌蚪窝 Center, a tertiary-care, subspecialized, Dean's Committee medical center, which is located approximately three miles from the Froedtert campus (about six minutes by car). VA rotations in digital imaging and vascular and interventional radiology are tightly integrated with similar rotations at Froedtert Hospital. Two rotations in general imaging provide the resident the opportunity to experience a mixed (rather than subspecialized) practice pattern in Radiology. The VAMC performs approximately 120,000 examinations per year.

Pediatric Radiology is taught at the Children's Wisconsin, a major regional pediatric resource. Approximately 150,000 pediatric examinations are performed by the Radiology Department at Children's. Children's Wisconsin Radiology is accredited under the 蝌蚪窝 Affiliated Hospitals' core Diagnostic Radiology residency, and also provides fellowship training in Pediatric Radiology.

The faculty of the Department of Radiology of the 蝌蚪窝 include recognized national and international leaders in radiology, radiologic physics, and magnetic resonance science. Faculty members hold national and international offices in many major radiologic societies and provide senior leadership to organized Radiology at many levels including educational organizations, accrediting bodies, and scientific organizations.

All affiliated hospitals and departments are well equipped with modern radiologic imaging equipment. The main department at Froedtert Hospital includes five state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging units as well as several research magnets, five General Electric multi-slice helical CT scanners including the most recently developed 64-slice unit, and advanced ultrasound units, digital angiography units, mobile fluoroscopic special procedures rooms, a hybrid PET/CT device, and modern SPECT capability on all nuclear medicine cameras. The Department has a fully functional PACS system with enterprise-wide image distribution. The Department of Radiology at the 蝌蚪窝 serves as a developmental partner for several industrial collaborators with major partnerships in place with General Electric Healthcare.

The Radiology Department library contains pertinent Radiology journals and textbooks as well as other educational materials. The library is equipped with network workstations with appropriate software, access to the ACR Learning File, and other teaching collections in electronic format. Access to Medline, the Internet, STATDX and digital presentation facilities are available.

A resident may elect to use up to five days of educational leave annually to attend a scientific meeting or course. Two days may be spent to attend the Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting in Chicago, which is not charged against educational leave time.

The 蝌蚪窝 Affiliated Hospitals (MCWAH) Diagnostic Radiology Residency follows ACGME and MCWAH requirements related to resident eligibility. Specifically:

ACGME Diagnostic Radiology Requirements

Eligibility Requirements – Residency Programs
All prerequisite post-graduate clinical education required for initial entry or transfer into ACGME-accredited residency programs must be completed in ACGME-accredited residency programs, or in Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC)-accredited or College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC)-accredited residency programs located in Canada. Residency programs must receive verification of each applicant’s level of competency in the required clinical field using ACGME or CanMEDS Milestones assessments from the prior training program. (Core)

Prerequisite Training
To be eligible for appointment to the program, residents must have successfully completed a prerequisite year of direct patient care in a program accredited by the ACGME, RCPSC (Canada), or CFPC (Canada) in emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, surgery or surgical specialties, the transitional year, or any combination of these.

ACGME Institutional Requirements

An applicant must meet one of the following qualifications to be eligible for appointment to an ACGME accredited program:

• Graduation from a medical school in the United States or Canada, accredited by the Liaison Committee on 蝌蚪窝 Education (LCME); or,
• Graduation from a college of osteopathic medicine in the United States, accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA); or,
• Graduation from a medical school outside of the United States or Canada, and meeting one of the following additional qualifications:
  • holds a currently-valid certificate from the Educational Commission for Foreign 蝌蚪窝 Graduates prior to appointment; or,
  • holds a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in a United States licensing jurisdiction in his or her current ACGME specialty/subspecialty program; or,
  • has graduated from a medical school outside the United States and has completed a Fifth Pathway program provided by an LCME-accredited medical school.

MCWAH Requirements

• Applicants are not eligible for a MCWAH sponsored residency if they have been previously terminated from a MCWAH sponsored program.
• All applicants accepted into a MCWAH sponsored ACGME accredited program must obtain the required medical licensure by the start of training (see MCWAH’s Licensure, Resident Educational License and DEA Number Requirements for Housestaff policy).
• Applicants must have appropriate U.S. immigration status to begin graduate medical education with the 蝌蚪窝 Affiliated Hospitals. If a candidate does not have U.S. immigration status that permits MCWAH to employ him/her on the designated start date, the training position will not be held and may be offered to another candidate.

We do welcome residents and sponsor visas in compliance with MCWAH policies. View MCWAH's visa information.

During the clinical year, elective rotations in diagnostic radiology must occur only in radiology departments with an ACGME-accredited diagnostic radiology residency program or an RCPSC-accredited diagnostic radiology residency program located in Canada and cannot exceed two months.
