Education
Competence without the Attitude
Commitment to Training
The UNC Department of Radiology, aligned with the mission of the UNC School of Medicine, strives to improve the health and well-being of citizens of the State of North Carolina. We integrate the three pillars of the School of Medicine — education, research, and clinical care — with the leadership, excellence, and experience of the Department faculty. The Department aspires to train undergraduate and graduate learners in Diagnostic Radiology, Interventional Radiology, and subspecialty radiology to be well-rounded physicians poised for clinical success and ready for the challenges of the future. As a Department, we are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace to enhance our learning environment and experience, further our research initiatives, and deliver excellent care to our entire patient population.
EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION
We believe a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion lead to new ways of thinking, behaving, and caring. At UNC Radiology, we are proud of our long tradition of excellence and our status as one of the premier Departments of Radiology in the nation. We are committed to train and teach new healthcare workers including medical students, residents, fellows, physician assistants, technologists, and research scientists.
Diagnostic Radiology is a five-year training experience. The program offers nine radiology residency positions per year. The faculty’s three-part mission in clinical, educational, and scholarly accomplishment extends to each resident as well. Preparing our residents for early success in patient care delivery and required national benchmarking are top priorities for the Department. Our Intervention Radiology Residencies include two programs. We offer an advanced five-year integrated Interventional Radiology residency that combines Diagnostic Radiology and Interventional Radiology. Our Independent Radiology Residency is a one or two-year program following your Diagnostic Radiology residency. Medical students are the future of medicine. Our faculty provide insight and enhanced learning during students’ radiology rotations, ensuring students are part of innovative and exciting disciplines. UNC Radiology fellowship programs assure our trainees learn state-of-the-art techniques using tomorrow’s technology. Training at the premiere state healthcare system, our fellows provide patient care with compassion and academic medical center expertise. UNC Radiology works to offer robust continuing education to our faculty and residents. One way we do this is through our monthly Grand Rounds where we welcome guest speakers, share case studies, research, and important topics that can have a future impact, on how we care for patients and move the needle forward in medical science.
