Abdominal Imaging Fellowship
Gain practical experience
Specialize in abdominal imaging with our one-year fellowship program. This training program, which features both clinical and academic components, begins with an orientation period in July and August. During this time, you'll work under graded supervision, making a significant contribution to the clinical work of the department. Throughout the remainder of the fellowship, you'll participate in a research project leading to presentation and publication.
How does it work?
The academic program commences in September. During the program, you'll be expected to contribute to resident teaching, both at the workstation and in formal rounds.
You'll also participate in the weekly Grand Rounds, as well as the weekly abdominal imaging rounds. Depending on rotation, you'll also participate in interdisciplinary rounds with various clinical teams.
During your fellowship, you'll practice abdominal computed tomography (CT), ultrasound and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
