Conferences
Of primary importance in this program are the two daily
teaching conferences provided by the Radiology faculty directed solely for radiology
resident education. An 11:30 a.m. didactic conference which is conducted by faculty on
a rotating basis covers all of the major subspecialties in Diagnostic Radiology. A
12:30 p.m. film review conference follows which is also conducted by the
faculty. Physics, radiobiology and radiation protection are taught in
the physics course which is a series of lectures/problem sessions conducted
weekly from January through September. In addition, a daily conference
is held in angiography at 7:30 a.m. at which time cases for the day are
presented and the preceding day's cases are reviewed under the direction
of faculty (see conference schedule below).
