Each resident is expected to complete at least one research project during residency. Residents should identify a faculty preceptor and select a research topic within the first or second radiology year. The final project will be presented at the (fall) Annual Academic Radiology Symposium during the fourth and final year of residency. The project is expected to meet scholarly activity criteria suitable for publication and does satisfy the ACGME's common program requirement for presenting research at a national meeting. SIU allows one week (five business days) per year to attend nationally- and

The SIU Radiology Residency Program is a categorical program; a preliminary-medicine year is automatically granted to all matching residents. The preliminary year operates on an 3+1 system where 3 weeks are spent on internal medicine rotations and 1 week is spent on radiology every month. Residents are considered integral members of the radiology program during their preliminary year and rotate through various subspecialties within the radiology department for one week every month. They also attend radiology conferences starting in October of their PGY-1 year. This lays a strong foundation for

SIU Diagnostic Radiology’s clinical training encompasses all subspecialty areas required for a trusted physician to enter autonomous practice. The program has designed competency-based, level-specific goals and objectives for each educational experience (block) to ensure both faculty and residents are aware of the purpose of a particular rotation in meeting educational needs. The six core competencies providing the foundation for goals and objectives include: Patient Care and Procedural Skills Medical Knowledge Practice-Based Learning and Improvement Interpersonal and Communication Skills

Virtual Interviews The Internal Medicine residency program will conduct virtual interviews. You can expect to receive information about these interviews via email with a schedule and videos to watch. A sample virtual interview day will look like: Sample of a Virtual Interview: Day 1: 6-7pm: Meet and greet current residents Day 2: You will have three separate, 20-minute interviews. For your convenience, we try to schedule them with minimal downtime between interviews.
