Diagnostic Imaging Physics Two-Year Residency

The º£½Ç½ûÇø Department of Radiology offers a two-year diagnostic imaging physics residency. The residency program takes advantage of the multiple sites and multiple imaging modalities available within º£½Ç½ûÇø HealthCare as well as the diverse expertise of the several faculty physicists in the department. º£½Ç½ûÇø HealthCare is the largest health care provider in the state of Kentucky and the region's leading academic medical center.

º£½Ç½ûÇø HealthCare provides several types of imaging services including CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET/CT, nuclear medicine, and interventional radiology. The section of diagnostic and nuclear medical physics within the department of radiology provides quality assurance and teaching services for radiology residents and graduate students pursuing degrees in our related radiological sciences program. Residents in the diagnostic imaging residency program (DIRP) will gain strong theoretical and practical experience in diagnostic imaging by participating in lectures, journal clubs, and research and by working in the clinic. The program will give the resident a deep understanding of a range of accreditation programs, including the American College of Radiology (ACR) and The Joint Commission. Through working alongside experts in the field, residents will learn the essential skills to be a professional medical physicist in diagnostic imaging.
