We offer an Abdominal Imaging Fellowship
Jackson Memorial Hospital offers a one-year Fellowship funded by The Department of Diagnostic Radiology at the University of Miami. The fellowship-training program offers training in body and pelvis imaging. Rotations include CT, MRI, PET-CT, ultrasound and fluoroscopy/plain radiography. Elective time of one month and opportunity for research is available. Fellows participate in general teaching and research activities and attend a weekly conference.
Body Imaging fellows are an integral member of the division, participating in daily interpretation, and timely reporting of abdominal imaging studies.
In the ultrasound rotation the fellow will learn to scan with the sonographers having opportunity to read a big volume of transplant cases, vascular ultrasound, as well as general ultrasound. Jackson Memorial Hospital is a reference transplant center in the south Florida region and the fellows acquire significant experience in evaluating liver, renal and pancreas transplants.
In the CT rotation the fellow receive instruction in abdominal diseases in the inpatient and outpatient settings as well as oncology training included staging and diagnosis of cancer.
During the MRI rotation the fellow is expose to general cases including dynamic pelvic floor evaluation, abnormal placentation and MR Enterography as well as oncologic staging with emphasis in liver, gynecologic and prostatic and rectal malignancies.
The fellows’ responsibilities include assisting the attending staff in resident education and training. The fellowship focuses on achieving a comprehensive understanding of the basic principles of body imaging including MRI and CT imaging protocol optimization. The fellow has opportunities to present at the multidisciplinary tumor boards as well as at the weekly body imaging radiology conference.
The Fellow is also expected to complete a research project in one of the many focuses of research of the section, including imaging of solid organ transplants, oncologic imaging, prostate cancer and imaging of the female pelvis.
Obviously, the program is in Miami. Throughout the year there is ample time to enjoy the miles of beaches, incomparable weather, watersports, restaurants, and nightlife. Miami is composed of multiple small neighborhoods, each with its own offerings. There are many housing options, from city and beach life to quieter suburbs. Multiple world-renowned cultural events take place throughout the year. Miami is also home to multiple professional and college sports teams.
We are currently accepting applications for the fellowship positions.
