The
residency program in Diagnostic Radiology at University Hospital/University
of Cincinnati College of Medicine has a long history of outstanding teaching
and patient care. Our focus on resident education has been the foundation of
this department since its inception and has continued under such luminary
radiologists as Dr. Benjamin Felson, Dr. Jerome Wiot, and Dr. Robert Lukin. This commitment has produced many renowned
radiologists, both in the academic and private practice communities. We
continue to strive to improve resident education to meet the changing
challenges of radiology.

The Department of Radiology is currently under the direction and
leadership of Mary Gaskill-Shipley, M.D., Interim
Chairman. A new department chair has been selected, Janette Collins, MD, MEd who will begin in early 2009.
The Residency Program Director is Robert Wissman, MD. Dr. Wissman
completed medical school and his residency at the Ohio State University. Dr. Wissman
also completed a fellowship in musculoskeletal imaging at the Mallinckrodt
Institute for Radiology. He was in private practice for 6 years prior
to joining UC Radiology. Please follow this link to Dr. Wissman's page. Robert Wissman, MD

The
residency program is primarily based at University Hospital, a 695 bed teaching hospital with
a diverse patient base, ranging from Primary Care to tertiary referrals and
organ transplantation. University Hospital is also a Level 1 Trauma Center
with an active helicopter service. Many specialties at University Hospital have been cited for their
excellence, including the Stroke Program, a collaborative effort between
Neurology, Emergency Medicine and Radiology. Other areas of excellence
include Emergency Medicine, and programs in cancer and otolaryngology.
Approximately 220,000 radiographic examinations are performed here annually.
We currently have 4 CT scanners, 4 MR scanners, and 6 ultrasound systems. An
operative MR has recently been installed with an adjoining operating suite.
This system is the first of its type in North America. Two new angiography suites have
recently been installed. Recently, a 4T research only MRI system
was installed and is operated under the joint efforts of the Department of
Radiology, the Department of Psychiatry, and the Department of Neurology.
A full variety of exams are performed at the University Hospital allowing a complete experience in
all the areas of Diagnostic Radiology.

Residents
also rotate through Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC),
one of the premier pediatric facilities in the nation. CCHMC has 335 beds and
delivers nearly all of the pediatric care in the Cincinnati area. In addition, due to its
reputation, referrals come from throughout the world. Approximately 120,000
radiological examinations are performed annually.
|
|
|
|
Rotations
are also spent at the Veteran's Hospital, a 250 bed facility, which is
entirely staffed by radiologists from the University faculty. They perform
approximately 35,000 examinations per year, including all imaging modalities
except MRI. Residents also rotate at Christ Hospital, which has approximately 500 beds
and is one of the most respected private hospitals in this region with
outstanding facilities in cardiac care. The variety of patient care settings
provides a wealth of experience with an outstanding case mix.
|
|
|
|
Radiology
residents will spend their first year creating a strong foundation in all
areas of radiology with rotations in most specialties. It is upon this
foundation that future years of education and growth are built. We believe
that the program is well balanced with education in all areas of radiology.
|
|
|
|
We
continually assess the educational needs of the residents as the specialty of
radiology evolves. The educational structure of the residency is based upon
learning through patient cases and didactic teaching both in the formal
conference setting and through patient care. Teaching is almost entirely
performed by Attending Staff.

Additional
opportunities, which are made available to the resident, include research and
the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP). There are multiple research
opportunities available at both University and Children's Hospitals. An Imaging Research Center, located at Children's, is an
extensive research facility including a 3T Brucker
research MR system. A $1350 educational allowance is provided to the
residents at the beginning of their second year in Radiology. Full
reimbursement for educational trips is available to residents when they are
the primary author of a presentation at a national meeting.

Located
along the banks of the Ohio River, near the junction of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, Cincinnati is a vibrant city of about
364,000 people, with 1.8 million living in the greater Cincinnati area. It was recently voted as
the number one place to live in the Places Rated Almanac. A combination of a
low cost of living with excellent living conditions, an active cultural and
theatrical community and professional football and baseball teams have made
this city a wonderful choice in which to live.
