The Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program is a fully accredited four-year postgraduate training experience that combines the advantages of a private practice training program with high quality teaching and an academic goal. Most of the faculty radiologists have come to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center from academic positions in nationally recognized teaching institutions and have additional training and expertise in all radiology subspecialty areas.
Each year four positions are available at the PGY-2 level. First-year Internal Medicine training is offered in our Internal Medicine Residency Program. Currently there are 16 residents in our program. The academic structure of our program is based on a rich and diverse clinical patient experience with a flexible curriculum designed for the individual resident's needs and a balance between primary and tertiary care experiences.
The majority of the resident's training is spent at St. Joseph's with the exception of one month rotations in interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, pediatrics and ultrasound at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. In addition, residents rotate through the McAuley Office Building and Biltmore outpatient imaging facilities and will be exposed to pure outpatient imaging including ultrasound, mammography, MRI, fluoroscopy and breast biopsy (U/S and stereotactic-guided). Residents are also given the opportunity to observe in the office of Phoenix Perinatal Associates for a two-week rotation with Dr. Harris Finberg in focused high-risk obstetric ultrasound.
