CLINICAL NUCLEAR MEDICINE ELECTIVE

RADIOL 928

Clinical experience on diagnostic radiology service. Apply population health and epidemiology principles to screening exam selection in radiology. Participate in interdisciplinary conversations surrounding patient care. Practice in patient-centered communication and in creating a case report.

RADIOL 924

Elective opportunity to study basic radiological studies and modalities. Gain proficiency in identifying normal structures and can't miss diagnoses on a chest radiograph and abdominal films as well as determining indications for advanced studies (computed tomography CT, magnetic resonance imaging MRI, ultrasound US, angiograms). Practice in building and presenting a case report.

RADIOL 920

Familiarizes the student with the various imaging and therapeutic procedures that are performed in radiology. In addition to learning about the strengths and limitations of different imaging studies, the student should attempt to relate abnormal radiologic findings to pathophysiology with logic and confidence. Students will be given the opportunity to rotate through the section of their choice for 2 weeks in the Radiology department and are able to tailor their reading room experiences to their interests. They will engage in hands on learning activities, interactive assignments, and learn to communicate in interdisciplinary conversations about patient care when it comes to best practices with radiology.

RADIOL 926

High-level procedural experience on a clinical interventional radiology service. Interventional radiology uniquely blends the concepts of imaging anatomy and pathophysiology to provide minimally invasive solutions to patients. Hone clinical and procedural skills while being exposed to a rich background curriculum with the goal of case report publication.

MEDPHYS 663

Provides an introduction to the technical skills required in nuclear medicine physics. This includes laboratory rotations in basic radiopharmaceutical production and quality control, basic operation and quality control testing on PET and SPECT scanners, time series image analysis of radiotracer studies and nuclear medicine dosimetry and radiation safety training. Gain a firsthand understanding of the professional duties performed by a nuclear medicine medical physicist.
