M.D. Students

Radiology is one of the several distributed curricula that are spread throughout all four years of medical school.  In the pre-clerkship phase, Radiology is incorporated within the M-I Foundational Anatomy course as well as the various systems blocks in the M-II year.  M-III students are exposed to Radiology throughout the core clerkships when imaging is used in their patient care experiences.  A dedicated Radiology lecture is included within the M-III Surgery clerkship.  M-III students also have the option to take a one-week elective in Radiology.  M-IV students can take a four-week elective in Radiology.  During the Capstone rotation of the M-IV year, all students get a refresher on Radiology to help prepare them for the start of residency.  The M-IV students matching into Radiology residencies get a week of detailed instruction related to the specialty. For further information on radiology rotations, head to the M.D. curriculum page.
