Diagnostic Radiology Residency
The Department of Radiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin offers a comprehensive four-year residency in Diagnostic Radiology under the auspices of the Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals. Six positions are available each year, and are filled through the specialty match (PG-II level) through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Applications are accepted through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). Candidates must obtain and complete one year of clinical graduate medical education (transitional PG-I, preliminary medicine PG-I, preliminary surgery PG-I, or the equivalent) before beginning the residency in Diagnostic Radiology.

Resident Experiences
“
At our program, we are exposed to an extremely broad range of pathology seen through the numerous imaging modalities we use to provide diagnostic information for our patients. I appreciate training in a department that is on the cutting edge of our specialty and feel I will be well-prepared as a practicing radiologist.

What distinguishes our program from others is the incredible volume of studies we have access to on each service. Training is all about repetition; I firmly believe that the more studies we read in residency, the better radiologists we will emerge as when we graduate. While the expansion of MCW/Froedtert to include more imaging sites is not without challenges, it also presents us with the privilege of unceasing education. This is reinforced by our staff, who have always encouraged me to stay busy reading studies each and every day. I've constantly been reassured by having matched at MCW by the way that our program looks after us. Whether it's making sure we have meal cards for our call shifts, obtaining new textbooks for the resident library, or our staff going to bat for us when we're applying for fellowships and jobs - I am so thankful to know that our administration and faculty have my back. With the current R3 class having just found out their match results, it's inspiring to see that for residents in our program who invest in their training, the sky is truly the limit in terms of fellowship and job opportunities. It's clear to me that the future is very bright for our department, program, fellows, and residents. It is an absolute privilege to be here.

What struck me as perhaps a unique distinguishing feature of MCW’s Radiology Dept. is the collegiality, easy flow of knowledge, and frequent case sharing and discussion that occurs across all levels of training and expertise. Whether it’s the junior attending, senior expert, or fresh R1 resident, there is no sense of hierarchy to preclude an intellectual discussion or stir intimidation. It would’ve been impossible to know just how great of a training program this is, here at MCW, without experiencing it as a resident, as most programs seem similar in the interview process. The greatest asset to the program is the group of attendings across all radiology subspecialties and training backgrounds who love to teach, and care for their residents holistically. Another surprising element is the variety of cases and pathology a radiology resident will come across in the course of his/her training at MCW.

MCW offers a collegial atmosphere where the faculty and residents feel like family. My co-residents have quickly become some of my best friends. We support each other during work and often get together outside of work. Our department even has a social committee with department sponsored events including past golf outings, socials at local beer gardens, holiday parties, Oktoberfest, Whirlyball, and many others. Going through the match process I was looking for a program that would prepare me well for my future career. MCW goes above and beyond. We have an abundance of complex studies at a high volume academic center. There is always something to be learned here. Our call prepares you for the real world, whether that's an academic or private practice job. MCW offers great benefits. We have ample moonlighting opportunities nearly every single day. It’s not uncommon for residents to make 1.5 times their salary because of moonlighting opportunities. The program supports our educational opportunities like paying for tuition to AIRP, and supporting us during board prep and exam time. Our covered parking is also free and a three minute walk to the reading room!
