Pediatric Radiology Fellowship

It is our great delight to announce the inaugural application season for our 12-month fellowship in Pediatric Radiology at the American Family Children’s Hospital supported by the Department of Radiology.

As a fellow, you will work our experienced pediatric radiologists who are highly dedicated to excellence in both the care of children through specialized pediatric imaging and to the education of our diagnostic radiology trainees. Currently, there is a dire shortage of pediatric radiologists across our country, and we aim to enable our radiology trainees to develop subspecialized skills in multi-modality imaging care for our community’s pediatric patients with the highest degree of compassion and professionalism.

Clinical training within our section utilizes radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of a wide spectrum of acute and chronic illnesses, seen in both the outpatient and inpatient settings. Our referring physicians include prenatal care specialists, general and subspecialty pediatricians, and general and subspecialty pediatric surgeons.

Imaging exams including all imaging modalities and all body systems for the fetus through the teenage years into young adulthood. As a fellow, you will also rotate through our other subspecialty sections to gain experience in additional pediatric advanced imaging, such as sports medicine, nuclear medicine, cardiovascular imaging and neuroradiology.
