Clinical Education

There are currently 24 Diagnostic Radiology residents at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, with 6 positions per year in the 4-year training program.  Our Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program has been fully-accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) since 1971, and the training is designed to meet all requirements for board eligibility by the American Board of Radiology (ABR).

All faculty members provide subspecialty level instruction at the workstation and formal didactic lectures. Our comprehensive curriculum includes a daily online video lecture series, daily noon conference, weekly multidisciplinary conferences (Chest Conference, Tumor Board, M&M), and monthly case-based conferences (Journal Club, Interesting Case Conference, and Rad-Path Conference).  Our program places an emphasis on clinical proficiency, inclusivity, resident well-being and a just culture.  We provide the most current high-yield educational resources to our residents in preparation for the ABR Core Exam.

Research

Residents are required to undertake an academic project resulting in publication or presentation at a regional or national meeting. Residents are encouraged to initiate projects, collaborate with colleagues in other departments, and participate in faculty directed research. Additionally, residents have access to the Lundquist Institute, which is a non-profit scientific research organization located on the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Campus and affiliated with the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
