Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship
The musculoskeletal imaging fellowship offers state-of-the-art training in all aspects of imaging of sports medicine, trauma, bone tumors, general orthopedics and rheumatology. There are 2 fellows each year, rotating between the University of Utah Orthopaedic Center and the University of Utah hospital. The fellowship concentrates on advanced imaging although plain film expertise is also developed. There are 25-40 musculoskeletal MRI/day, 2-5 CT/day, 10-15 procedures/week, and 2-5 ultrasounds/week. The section enjoys an unusually close working relationship with the departments of orthopaedics and rheumatology, and there are joint conferences with these departments on a weekly basis.
Applicants are expected to have demonstrated during their residency an aptitude and focus on musculoskeletal imaging. Publications are not required, but are an asset to the application. All fellows must be board-certified at the start of their fellowship, and have obtained Utah licensure. Applicants are typically third year residents, although fellows have also come from private practice.
