Training and Experience
Residents are involved in image acquisition and interpretation for all equine imaging modalities throughout their tenure. Trainees participate in clinical training, radiology rounds, didactic classes, and teaching responsibilities.
- Clinical training: Residents have clinical rotations in diagnostic radiology and ancillary imaging areas. Under supervision of an assigned radiologist, residents generate reports on a daily basis. All reports are reviewed and corrected with the supervising radiologist. Select cases are presented in a rounds format for discussion once a week.
- Didactic classes: Residents enroll in a non-thesis graduate program during the course of their residency program.
- Clinical radiology rounds: Residents present equine imaging rounds once a week and are encouraged to attend small animal radiology rounds other mornings of the week. Other medical, surgical, and grand rounds within the hospital are available and can be attended when the schedule allows.
- Clinical teaching responsibilities: Residents participate in teaching diagnostic imaging to third- and fourth-year veterinary students. Presentation of at least three didactic lectures or seminars and participation in continuing education courses and/or anatomy instruction is also expected.
