Residents gain autonomy over the course of their four years and become confident and proficient across all modalities. Starting in their first year, residents gain early experience in abdominal MRI and cardiovascular imaging. During the second year of residency, residents go to Boston Children’s Hospital for 3 months of dedicated experience in pediatric radiology, in addition to exposure while at Tufts Medical Center. The fourth year offers extra flexibility, with six months of elective time which can be used to reinforce the foundations of radiology, or for subspecialization with a mini-fellowship.
Our ACGME application for the ESIR (Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology) was approved in January 2017. We can accommodate up to three internal candidates per class.
Residents complete the majority of their training at Tufts Medical Center, a Level 1-Trauma, 415-bed, academic institution in the heart of Boston. It is the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine, which sponsors 19 specialty ACGME-accredited clinical training programs.
