Overview
Our primary aim is to prepare fellows for outstanding clinical practice while fostering the development of future academic leaders in pediatric radiology through opportunities in teaching, research, and quality improvement.
The Pediatric Radiology Section performs over 170,000 imaging studies annually across all major modalities. Our team includes 25 dedicated faculty radiologists, 4 fellows, and 7 to 10 residents rotating monthly. Fellows receive broad exposure to both inpatient and outpatient imaging at our main campus in Seattle and across three regional satellite centers.
Program Overview and Training Environment
Training spans the full spectrum of pediatric radiology, including CT, MRI, radiography, fluoroscopy, neuroradiology, interventional radiology, cardiac imaging, fetal imaging, and nuclear medicine. Fellows also gain extensive experience in subspecialty pediatric services such as oncology and bone marrow transplantation, neonatology, pulmonary medicine, endocrinology, rheumatology, orthopedic and transplant surgery, neurology, and neurosurgery. Call responsibilities are shared throughout the year with residents from the University of Washington, Virginia Mason Medical Center, and Madigan Army Hospital.
In addition to their clinical duties, fellows actively participate in a variety of multidisciplinary conferences and contribute to the education of residents and medical students. Dedicated research time is built into the academic year, ensuring fellows have protected time to explore scholarly interests and pursue innovative projects outside of clinical responsibilities.
ABR ALTERNATE PATHWAY
An alternate four-year pathway is available for international medical graduates. This pathway provides an opportunity to complete four years of radiology training and then become eligible to sit for the American Board of Radiology (ABR) board certification examinations.
