The Emergency Imaging Fellowship program provides comprehensive training in trauma and emergent imaging across all modalities, including radiography, CT/CTA, MRI/MRA, and ultrasound. 

Fellows work closely with fellowship-trained radiologists in a Level 1 trauma center, gaining progressive independence while participating in multidisciplinary conferences, collaborative research, and opportunities to present at regional and national meetings. The program prepares radiologists for expert practice in emergency imaging within a supportive, state-of-the-art clinical environment.

Clinical Experience 

Fellows gain exposure to a broad range of trauma and emergent pathology that occurs across all hours of the day and night. Training emphasizes a progressive increase in independence, with one-on-one teaching from expert radiologists throughout the year. 

Our program covers all aspects of emergency imaging, including: 

• Radiography 
• CT/CTA 
• MRI/MRA 
• Ultrasound 

Fellows have the opportunity to participate in institutional interdisciplinary collaborations through multiple trauma conferences and numerous multidisciplinary meetings, including: 

• Medicine/Family Medicine 
• Pulmonology/Critical Care 
• Body, Musculoskeletal, and Neuroradiology 
• Pathology 
• Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery 

Program Highlights 

• Exceptional training at a Level 1 trauma center with diverse patient pathology 
• Supervision and mentorship from fellowship-trained body, cardiothoracic, musculoskeletal, pediatric, and neuroradiologists 
• Strong encouragement for collaborative research, both clinical and preclinical 
• Support for presentation at regional and national conferences via protected academic time and a conference discretionary fund 
• Advanced facilities and expert faculty to prepare fellows for independent practice in emergency imaging 

Faculty and Teaching 

The fellowship is staffed by OHSU radiologists with subspecialty fellowship training in body, cardiothoracic, musculoskeletal, pediatric, and neuroradiology. Teaching is tailored to the fellow’s growth, emphasizing progressive autonomy in clinical decision-making and image interpretation.
