Resident Core Curriculums

Pediatric Radiology

Welcome to pediatric radiology.  Our primary goal is to provide excellent clinical service to our patients, their families and our referring clinicians, and our secondary goal is to provide a good learning environment.  You are integral to the success of both goals.  Below please find a brief summary of our expectations for you while on peds.  Please remember you may only have two rotations in peds during your residency so it will be important for you to be an aggressive learner throughout both of your rotations.  When there are two residents, one resident will assume the responsibilities of the junior resident and the other the responsibilities of the senior resident.  When there is only one resident, you will assume the responsibilities of both the junior and senior residents. If it is your first rotation on peds, we expect that at a minimum you will have learned the GI, GU, and MSK chapters of "The Fundamentals of Pediatric Radiology" by Lane Donnelly before starting on service.  By the end of your second week we expect you to know the chest and airway chapters as well.  It is not possible to see all of the pediatric disorders in two short months so we feel self directed learning is essential. Please carefully prooofread your dictations.
