Radiology Residency Program —
Mission Statement
The Radiology faculty and staff at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center are dedicated to providing an unparalleled academic and clinical experience in a supportive environment for trainees. It is our goal that the radiology family at UPMC will continue to be a resource our graduates will draw from throughout their medical careers.
The program consists of rotations in all of the subspecialties of radiology, throughout five subspecialty and tertiary referral hospitals in Pittsburgh. Residents will interact closely with nationally recognized academic radiologists and clinicians to maximize their training in a collegial, comfortable, state-of-the-art facility.
The department's fundamental organization follows an organ system approach. Each organ system division is headed by nationally known academic radiologists and comprises teams of excellent clinical and academic physicians with subspecialty expertise and a proven commitment to resident education. Training focuses on excellence in clinical care, research, and teaching while fostering the individual interests and talents of residents. The various radiology divisions regularly provide services across institutional/hospital lines throughout, UPMC to assure uniform excellence of clinical care and teaching.
The residency program offers a research track based on the Holman research pathway approved by the American Board of Radiology. However, ample opportunities for academic research are open to, encouraged in, and supported for, all residents, regardless of participation in the dedicated research track.
The University of Pittsburgh Department of Radiology is committed to training the finest radiologists in the country. All department graduates will be well prepared for eventual careers in community or academic medicine.
