MRI Fellowships at UMI
Fellowships are a key differentiator at University Medical Imaging. Our reputation as the area’s leading provider of medical imaging services is built on the radiologic expertise and acumen of our staff, including a 100 percent commitment to hiring only fellowship-trained radiologists.
In keeping with that emphasis and with our close affiliation with the world-renowned University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, we grant fellowship positions each year to talented and highly qualified men and women for the purpose of broadening their skills and providing our referring physicians and patients with the most innovative and current diagnostic perspectives available.
2008 MRI Fellowship
The 2008 MRI fellowship program is full.
2009 MRI Fellowship
A one-year MRI fellowship program at University Medical Imaging (UMI), the outpatient imaging center of the University of Rochester, will begin in July 2009. Four fellowship positions are offered per year.
More than 16,000 MR exams are conducted at UMI annually, using three 1.5 Tesla and one 3 Tesla echoplanar magnets. This fellowship offers advanced training in MRI of the central and peripheral nervous system, musculoskeletal system and body; as well as MRA of the central nervous system, body, and extremities. Fellows will receive an excellent clinical experience from four full-time faculty who are CAQ neuroradiologists, and other full-time faculty with advanced fellowship training in cross-sectional and musculoskeletal imaging. Candidates must be ABR-eligible or certified and have a New York license.
