Abdominal Imaging Fellowship 2028-2029

Emory University•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

Emory University School of Medicine’s Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences offers a full-time, one-year Abdominal Imaging Fellowship. Fellows participate in supervised and independent patient evaluation and management, progressively complex imaging interpretation, and formal educational activities. Patient care responsibilities are commensurate with the fellow’s advancement and competence and are carried out under the general supervision of appropriately privileged attending teaching staff. Fellows interpret abdominal and pelvic CT, MRI, ultrasound, fluoroscopic, and plain-film examinations, participate in multidisciplinary tumor boards, and have dedicated elective time to deepen abdominal imaging expertise or gain experience in other radiology areas, including possible procedural experience with Interventional Radiology. Fellows receive graduated levels of independence and, depending on performance, may earn the opportunity to final-sign reports. Call is shared evenly among fellows and includes overnight beeper coverage from home and weekend call. Weekend duties include in-hospital interpretation of overnight Grady Health cases from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., as well as abdominal cases performed during the day; at-home beeper coverage runs from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. the following morning. Coverage responsibilities and duty hours may vary slightly by assigned facility: Emory University Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Emory St. Joseph’s Hospital, and Grady Memorial Hospital. Applicants must have completed, or be scheduled to complete before July 1 of the fellowship year, a US- or Canadian-accredited diagnostic radiology residency. Applicants must hold an MD degree or equivalent and meet Georgia medical licensure requirements.
