Student Rotation

The student rotation training is divided into specialty radiology sections of Abdominal Imaging, Angiography and Interventional Radiology, Chest Radiology, Diagnostic Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Breast Imaging, Musculoskeletal Radiology, Neuroradiology, Nuclear Radiology, and  Pediatric Radiology. The student will  choose a rotation in one of the specialties where they will be working closely with faculty members.

Student rotation objectives are:
