Course Information
Description
Students will learn how radiology is practiced in an academically oriented busy community hospital, Mount Auburn in Cambridge. The day starts at 7:30 a.m. with 'positives conference'. Current interesting cases are presented in this 30 minute interactive conference attended by students, residents and faculty. This is followed by a 1 hour didactic session led by expert faculty. Students will then participate in a daily resident led educational curriculum dedicated to providing them with a strong foundation in medical imaging. Students will spend the rest of the day integrated into the clinical experience as an active member of our team and will work along side radiology residents and staff where they gain experience in a modality based environment caring for a high volume of patients with a broad spectrum of disease. The rotation schedule can be tailored to the student's interests and can include experience in vascular and interventional radiology, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, fluoroscopy, women's imaging, ultrasound, and emergency radiology. In addition, students will attend various multidisciplinary conferences with the residents. Students are expected to present a radiology topic of their choice to the department at the end of the month.
