The Department

The Department of Diagnostic Radiology at the University of Minnesota, along with its three integrated institutions (Fairview-University Medical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Hennepin County Medical Center) and two affiliated institutions, (Park Nicollet Medical Center and Regions Medical Center), combine to provide Graduate Medical Education in Diagnostic Radiology: 1) Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program; 2) Abdominal Imaging Fellowship Program; 3) Neuroradiology Fellowship Program; 4) Vascular and Interventional Radiology Fellowship Program; 5) Pediatric Radiology Fellowship Program.

The Program's mission is to provide an atmosphere of learning and academic curiosity. It provides strong basic training in diagnostic radiology and its subspecialties, including breast imaging, gastrointestinal and genitourinary radiology, musculoskeletal radiology, neuroradiology, nuclear medicine, pediatric radiology, thoracic radiology, ultrasound, and vascular and interventional radiology.

The Program's goal is to develop a sturdy medical knowledge/skill base and professional attributes that allow a resident/fellow to independently and competently practice diagnostic radiology with a life-long commitment to continued learning and excellence.
