Musculoskeletal Imaging Radiology Fellowship

Background and goals

Allegheny Health Network Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship provides comprehensive imaging training in all aspects of musculoskeletal disease. Allegheny Health Network is a large health care system based in Pittsburgh which encompasses seven hospitals and 17,000 employees throughout western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and northern West Virginia. A nontraditional fellowship in musculoskeletal diseases as well as emergency and trauma imaging has been designed for qualified applicants at this Level I Trauma Center.

Applicants Should

• Be enrolled in an ACGME-accredited residency program
• Be eligible for licensure in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
• Have reasonable expectations for passing Part 1 examinations of the American Board of Radiology

The fellowship will provide training in all suspects of imaging as applicable to musculoskeletal imaging, including:

• Computed tomography (CT)
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Ultrasound (US)
• Procedures – arthrography, biopsies, and therapeutic injections

The fellow will have ample opportunity for rotations through other sections including cardiothoracic, abdominal, neuroradiology, mammography, or vascular interventional radiology. Because this is a nontraditional fellowship, the fellow will be expected to spend no greater than 20% of his/her time functioning as an attending.
