Tuition: $1,000/day, $4,800 per week, $3,600 for each additional week up to 1 month, $2,000 for each additional week after 1 month.

Approximate # of MRI/CT cases per day: 80; 2,500 per month

This fellowship is geared toward the individual desiring flexible advanced training in Musculoskeletal Imaging. The participant can custom-tailor a self-directed program to include observation of MRI, CT, and radiography readout, as well as interventional bone and joint procedures. This fellowship program incorporates advanced imaging of shoulder, knee, foot and ankle, hip, wrist, elbow, and professional sports medicine imaging. Approximately 30-40 MR arthrograms (direct and indirect) are reviewed each week. Procedures include biopsies of bone and soft tissue, arthrograms, nerve blocks, disc aspiration and discography. An extensive digital teaching file is available for review. Personal consultation on individual cases and protocol selection is available.  The Program Directors can identify practice gaps and guide the visiting fellow to cases and resources directed toward their unique education needs.  The fellowship is very flexible in terms of time and content.

This fellowship is designed to meet the following practice gap: physicians are often not exposed to the range of pathologies seen in the department. There is a lack of knowledge and exposure to the types of scans the visiting physician would experience at their own practice.  

Learning Objectives

• Demonstrate a greater understanding of clinical Musculoskeletal Radiology practice.
• Employ skills to improve efficiency and patient care.
• Demonstrate an improved knowledge of diagnosis of musculoskeletal pathology, including injury, degeneration, infection, neoplasia, and metabolic conditions as well as musculoskeletal intervention.
