-John Tobben: Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship Director | Email
The Department of Radiology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine offers a one-year fellowship in Musculoskeletal Imaging. Under the supervision of expert faculty attendings, fellows will interpret the full gamut of musculoskeletal imaging modalities including radiographs, CT, US and MRI as well as perform a variety of interventional procedures such as image-guided bone and soft tissue biopsies as well as joint injections/aspirations.
The University of North Carolina Hospitals is a Level I Trauma Center and tertiary referral center for orthopedic oncology. In addition, the UNC Health Care System serves the UNC collegiate athletic teams as well as several community orthopedic referral groups. As a result, fellows can expect to see a well-rounded mix of trauma, orthopedic oncology, sports medicine, infection and rheumatology cases.
Fellows will interpret musculoskeletal MRIs and CT and will staff out those studies in person with the attending on the cross-sectional shift. In the spirit of graded independence, the fellow will initially staff radiographs then eventually allowed to read independently from the plain film list as the year progresses.
In addition to performing a wide variety of procedures, fellows will be responsible for taking, working up, and presenting biopsy requests to the division during our daily 12:30 biopsy review conference.
Fellows will also be expected to attend dedicated fellow education conferences run by division faculty. Fellows will attend and eventually present at multidisciplinary conferences on a rotating basis.
All shifts currently take place at the main UNC Hospital campus.
UNC’s Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging will be participating in the NRMP’s 2023-2024 Fellowship Match. For more information on how to apply to our fellowship program, click HERE.
