| The Diagnostic Radiology residency
program at the University of Missouri offers exemplary graduate training
in all areas of diagnostic radiology, including neuroradiology, interventional
radiology, CT, ultrasonography, nuclear medicine, and MRI, as well as bone,
chest, GI/GU, mammography, and pediatrics imaging. The primary clinical
institution is University of Missouri Health Care, but residents also rotate
through Ellis Fischel Cancer Center and Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans'
hospital. The emphasis in all of our teaching services is to provide a,
hands-on educational experience and maintain a faculty-to-resident ratio
of approximately one to one. |
| Residents completing our program
are well-versed in all areas, providing them options of either seeking employment
in private practice or continuing their academic training as a fellow. We
expect the residents to exhibit competence not only in interpretation of
examinations, but also in the performance of radiographic procedures, including
angiography, myelography, angioplasty, percutaneous biopsy, and drainage
procedures. We encourage research by our residents and provide an educational
fund to enable residents to attend conferences and seminars. As part of
the educational process, residents are required to attend conferences twice
a day. There is an intensive physics preparation during the summer months
and several intradepartmental conferences involving pathology, chest, and
neurology. |
