课程和教育

Curriculum

The diagnostic radiology program at UTHealth is uniquely positioned to provide exposure to a wide breadth of disease states, a critical component of radiology training.

Our training institutions complement one another and culminate into a comprehensive training experience which produces residents who are well-prepared for both academic and private practice sectors. Memorial Hermann Hospital- Texas Medical Center is a Level 1 trauma center with over 1,000 beds that provides leading-edge care in cardiology, neuroscience, orthopedics, and much more. Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital is a Level 3 trauma center which provides comprehensive primary and specialty care to a large catchment area. MD Anderson Cancer Center is one of the preeminent cancer centers in the world. Our affiliation with Texas Children’s Hospital affords exposure to complex pediatric patients at a leading institution.

Years 1-3: Core Clinical Rotations

居民通常在两周或四周的街区中分配给以下放射学的亚专业领域之一（总总长度）：

  • Breast imaging (8 weeks)
  • 紧急放射学（8周）
  • 胃肠道 /泌尿生殖器放射学（26周）
  • 胃肠道荧光镜检查（4周）
  • 介入放射学（12周）
  • Musculoskeletal radiology (8 weeks)
  • 神经放射学（16周）
  • Night Float (18 weeks)
  • Nuclear medicine (14 weeks)
  • Pediatric radiology (12 weeks)
  • Thoracic and Cardiothoracic radiology (12 weeks)
  • Ultrasound (10 weeks)

额外rotations include:

  • American Institute for Radiologic Pathology (4 weeks)
  • MD Anderson General，将多种亚皮和强调肿瘤学的融合（4周）

From the beginning of R1 (PGY-2) year, residents are expected to read independently, be involved in the performance and interpretation of patient examinations, and participate in discussions concerning diagnostic problems. The core principles of radiology are emphasized throughout each rotation. The residents are encouraged to work toward increasing levels of responsibility, particularly in the emergency radiology rotations and in the time leading up to call.

通常，专科分区是按身体系统组织的，每个部门都包含各种方式，使居民能够熟悉整个身体的疾病的解剖学，病理学和病理生理学。我们的放射科医生和居民都是患者护理团队的宝贵成员。

Year 4: Elective Year

The Elective Year represents a valuable educational opportunity to pursue advanced exposure to many modalities and procedures.

Residents can take several elective rotations including Cardiac MRI, Body MRI, PET/CT, Musculoskeletal Imaging, Neuroradiology, as well as a Healthcare Management course and dedicated pathways, including ESIR, MDACC Research, and Nuclear Medicine.

ESIR Pathway:

Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) is a training option for Diagnostic Radiology residents who wish to specialize in interventional radiology. ESIR training is completed within the 4-year diagnostic radiology residency. It requires a total of 11 IR or IR-related rotations (minimum of 44 weeks) and an ICU rotation of at least 4 continuous weeks. During the ESIR year, the resident must document at least 500 interventional radiology or IR-related procedures. Residents need to declare their interest in the ESIR pathway by the middle of the R3 year. Currently, we accept up to 4 R3 residents each year for this pathway.

Education

每个临床部分的教学每天都在工作站。我们的教职员工受过专科培训，最大程度地提高了学员在整个居住期间发展的图像解释和程序技能的质量。

放射学院在所有亚专业中的放射学院举行的每日中午会议参加；这是一个全面的讲座系列，涵盖了放射学的所有领域。此外，还教授居民的非干扰技能，包括有效的沟通，多样性和包容性，道德和专业精神，医学，研究，福祉，质量和安全以及实践习惯。beplay苹果手机能用吗期刊俱乐部，M＆M和QI会议每月举行。

此外，居民每月两次参加德克萨斯儿童医院的小儿会议，定期进行各种客座教授讲座。我们的物理课程包括讲座，模块，动手实验室和由专门的医学物理学家教授的董事会评论。在美国放射学委员会（ABR）核心考试委员会之前，将为R3居民提供广泛的董事会审查准备。

R1 Fundamentals Course:

This foundational course takes place every Wednesday afternoon during the entire R1 year, from July through June. The curriculum covers the basic principles of radiology and prepares residents for Night Float before beginning the R2 year. Residents obtain education in all radiologic subspecialties, as well as physics, radiation safety, contrast reaction simulation training, and hands-on IR and ultrasound experiences. In addition, there are dedicated boot camps in June of R1 year to ensure residents are well-prepared for call.
