Residency Overview
Our mission is to produce highly qualified radiologists who are capable of accurate and efficient diagnosis, effective communication with referring physicians, and maintaining and enhancing their knowledge. We combine in-person and remote education to teach our residents the fundamentals of diagnostic and interventional radiology.
Residents achieve graded responsibility and independence over time and at the conclusion of 4 years of training, our graduates move on with confidence to advanced training at the fellowship level in the subspecialty of their choice! As a premier academic medical center, we are devoted to educating the next generation of stellar radiologists.
- Friendly, Supportive Environment
- Excellent Training in all subspecialties
- Constant change and improvement based on feedback from the residents
- Growing and expanding our coverage, giving residents ever more experience
“Maimonides is a wonderful place to become a radiologist. The core faculty can prioritize resident education rather than productivity alone. The camaraderie and team spirit of the department creates an environment you will enjoy while living, learning and working.”

Curriculum Overview
You will have 4 years of training in all aspects of radiology. We teach a curriculum based on recommendations from the ABR and ACGME to produce radiologists with a skill set (both clinical and professional) that is desirable to future employers. To underpin and complement your experience and training in imaging we have organized training in Radiology Physics presented in a way that you will find engaging and interesting.
Our third-year residents spend 4 weeks at the American Institute for Radiologic Pathology consolidating their knowledge. We also supplement our own superb conferences, with nationally and internationally renowned Grand Rounds speakers and Lecture Series.
Residents are evaluated after every rotation and given feedback to help them further improve and develop. The Residents also evaluate the faculty, conferences, and rotations (anonymously). Research and quality improvement (QI) projects are required but the collaborative environment between our Residents and our Faculty has never made this a challenge for even the most research-averse Resident. Over the years, because they are so close to the action, our residents have identified, studied, and improved our workflow. In your 4 years, we promise to train you and we hope you will teach us as well.
