The Diagnostic Radiology Residency is a four year program commencing at the PGY-2 level with the option of an included transitional year. Each year through the ERAS match program we welcome four new residents. The principal objective of our program is to educate clinically oriented general diagnostic radiologists who are equally qualified to practice in an academic university or community setting. In addition, our faculty engender in the residents, the skills and enthusiasm required to maintain a lifelong commitment to continuing education in the field of radiology. Upon completion of the program our residents are being selected to outstanding fellowships throughout the country.
The Program Director and Program Coordinator are dedicated to enforcing the ACGME, ACR and ABR teaching requirements. This includes attending the National AUR conferences for maintaining updated and accurate information. A dedicated conference room with AV equipment and ample space for daily resident conferences is provided. A minimum of ten hours weekly is designated to these conferences. The conferences consist of a combination of didactic clinical lectures and presentations of case material. A full course in the physics of radiology and radiobiology is integrated into the conference schedule. Through the Gilbert Endowment educational funding is provided for weekly guest lectures, oral board reviews and various courses. As a result of our close proximity to Philadelphia, residents are encouraged to take advantage of the many city-wide conferences and lectures sponsored by the Philadelphia Roentgen Ray Society and other city-wide Radiology societies. The department maintains a PACS teaching file, ACR teaching files, a wide selection of CD-ROMs, videotape lectures and electronic teaching tools such as STATdx.
Outside rotations include AIRP and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. The mammography rotation is done at our Voorhees facility which houses the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, the state’s first and only NIH-designated.
Comprehensive Cancer Center under the supervision of a fellowship trained women’s imaging subspecialist.
The Department of Radiology at Cooper University Hospital has developed objectives to guide the residents through clinical rotations. Clinical rotations enable the resident to accumulate knowledge, develop technical skills and establish decision- making processes. These objectives are to be used as general guidelines with respect to the residents’ progression. The objectives are used as a relative measure of the residents’ progress.
The emphasis of the radiology residency curriculum is the acquisition of knowledge and skills utilizing a system-based approach including all of the subspecialties (e.g., neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, etc). This ensures that the six core competencies; patient care, medical knowledge, practice based learning, interpersonal skills, professionalism, and system based practice are attained.
