GENERAL INFORMATION Beth Israel Medical Center's Department of Radiology, under the direction of Michael M. Abiri, M.D., offers a four year accredited residency program in diagnostic radiology. The program is a university affiliated program on the Manhattan Campus of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Training sites are comprised of the Petrie Division (main campus), the Phillips Ambulatory Care Center (PACC) located in Union Square, and the New York Eye & Ear Imfirmary, 2 blocks from Petrie. Attending staff specialists cover the areas of general diagnostic radiology, mammography, musculoskeletal radiology, cross-sectional imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI), interventional radiology, cardiovascular, pediatrics, ENT, head & neck, neuroradiology, nuclear medicine and PET scanning. Staff members hold faculty appointments at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The staff consists of 40 full time radiology Attendings, two physicists, and 21 diagnostic radiology residents. There are fellows in cross-sectional body imaging (2), breast imaging (2), interventional radiology (1) and neuroradiology (2). The diagnostic radiology residency program is a comprehensive curriculum
with equal emphasis on formal teaching, informal teaching and practical
experience, with considerable exposure to special projects, subspecialty
training and research. The Radiology Department at the Petrie Campus has 15 x-ray examination
rooms including one dedicated mammographic unit, two special procedure
rooms, two CT rooms, one MRI unit and three ultrasound rooms. The nuclear
medicine division has four imaging cameras. Residents rotate through all subspecialty areas of radiology generally
in four-week blocks each. The rotations include: Teaching is provided on both a formal and informal basis. The formal
component of the training program includes two radiology conferences
a day, Radiology Grand Rounds with invited speakers, a Radiology-Pathology
conference, Journal Club, and resident prepared didactic conference
once a month. There are special courses in radiation-physics and radiation
biology, and MRI physics. In addition, the Department sends each resident
to a review course or the RSNA for one week during their four years. The goal of the residency-training program is to train well-rounded, highly competent diagnostic radiologists. Almost all residents from the program continue their training in fellowships around the country. The Beth Israel radiology residency program combines the comprehensive curriculum of instruction and practical experience needed to achieve a quality educational experience in all subspecialty areas of radiology. We encourage all residents to take the written physics and diagnostic portions of the ABR examination prior to the PGY 5 or senior year. The Diagnostic Radiology program at Beth Israel Medical Center will
be participating in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS)
for applicants applying to the program for the year 2004. All positions
for 2003 have been filled . We are currently recruiting residents to
begin at the PGY II level and have five positions available.
