Residency

Our fully-accredited radiology residency is designed to train physicians in all facets of diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. We offer six four-year post-graduate year two diagnostic radiology residency positions annually through the National Residency Matching Program, along with one dedicated five-year interventional radiology position. 

Training is subspecialty-oriented with resident rotations in gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, pediatrics, chest, mammography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, neuroradiology, cardiovascular and interventional radiology.

Each week, a blend of didactic teaching and case conferences are held. Residents are involved in medical student teaching and are encouraged to participate in research projects.

There is an active visiting professor program with numerous national authorities in radiology participating. All residents attend a four-week course in radiologic-pathologic correlation at the American Institute of Radiologic Pathology in Washington, D.C., during their residency. The Department of Radiology pays for residents' housing and expenses in Washington, D.C., while at this course.

Facilities

The Department of Radiology at UNMC encompasses approximately 50,000 square feet and utilizes state-of-the-art equipment in diagnostic radiology, angiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine. 

The Omaha VA Medical Center is an affiliate hospital located one-half mile from the UNMC campus. Its radiology department is a modern facility with excellent angiography, computed tomography, ultrasound and fluoroscopic equipment. Residents spend a total of nine months at the VA Medical Center during their four-year residency. The total procedure volume for both institutions is over 350,000 examinations per year with excellent experience in all subspecialty areas of radiology.

Approximately three months will also be spent in pediatric radiology at Children’s Nebraska. This rotation complements the pediatric radiology experience at Nebraska Medicine.
