The Drexel University College of Medicine radiology residency program is a four-year ACGME-accredited training period in diagnostic radiology. The program extends from PGY-2 through PGY-5 levels. An ACGME-approved clinical PGY-1 is necessary before beginning radiology training.
This radiology program provides experience in general diagnostic radiology through subspecialty areas of pulmonary, abdominal, emergency, neurological, musculoskeletal, and pediatric radiology. There is focused training in neurointerventional and general vascular interventional procedures. In addition, training in radiation physics is provided throughout the academic year.
All trainees are encouraged to participate in research activities, and time is provided for this purpose. Publication and presentation are also encouraged. The wide range of pathology encountered by trainees, as well as the input from research-oriented faculty, can provide valuable source material.
Appropriate responsibilities are available for procedures, film interpretations, teaching and consultation as the resident progresses through the program.
A faculty of full- and part-time radiologists with subspecialty expertise in their respective areas participates in supervision, teaching and research.
We offer the PEDRAP (Pediatric Emphasis Diagnostic Radiology Alternative Pathway) curriculum, as approved by the American Board of Radiology for those trainees interested in concentrating on pediatric radiology. This clinical pathway program is offered in conjunction with St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. It is a five-year program requiring a prerequisite one-year preliminary clinical internship.
