Introduction
The Radiology Residency Program is a fully accredited program leading to eligibility by the American Board of Radiology. The radiology residency is a four-year program. Residents are usually accepted via the Match in the Supplemental
Position format. Current fourth year medical students would apply to both our Supplemental positions (NRMP Program Code 298062) and to a Preliminary year of their choice. Special arrangements have been made to give priority to our applicants for entry into the
Transitional Residency at Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, VA or the Internal Medicine Preliminary Program at Eastern Virginia Medical School.
Curriculum
Residents are exposed to a wealth of clinical material in all facets of diagnostic radiology, with a combination of organ system and modality based rotations. Clinical rotations are scheduled on a week by week basis, with most rotations
lasting three to five weeks consecutively. Fundamental rotations in the first several months along with basic reviews of emergency radiology prepare first-year residents for their first call experience. Rotations are complimented by introduction to advanced imaging
modalities in neuro and body CT and ultrasound. The first angiographic experience is in the second year or early third year and is generally 12 weeks long. Specific rotations for upper level residents include OB ultrasound, neuroangiography, peripheral vascular
ultrasound, a self-study cardiac radiology unit and introduction to practice management in addition to the more common organ system and modality rotations. Elective time for seniors allows for in depth study in one modality.
