The USF Health Department of Radiology is excited to offer 3-4 positions for a 1-year non-accredited Body Imaging Fellowship, and is now accepting applications for the 2024-25 academic year. Our program offers fellows high volumes of subspecialty MRI, and flexibility to improve their procedural skills, engage in clinical research, and maintain skills in other modalities.
Please see the program details below for contact information, minimum requirements, and submission details.
Fellows will cycle through three separate rotations covering different patient populations. The first rotation focuses on the inpatient population for Tampa General Hospital itself. Fellows spend their days reading high-level MRI for inpatients and transplant teams, and participate in GI and GU multidisciplinary conferences. The workstations for this rotation are in the same room as the body attendings, radiology residents, and medical students, providing freedom for peer-to-peer teaching throughout the day.
The second rotation is for our academic service. This rotation will expose fellows to high complexity cases, particularly for inflammatory bowel disease.
The third rotation is with our Tower sites, the outpatient community outreach of Tampa General Hospital. This too focuses heavily on MRI, with large volumes of multiparametric prostate MRI, defecography, and rectal cancer staging and restaging.
Each of the three rotations focus heavily on MRI. We have over 30 MR units, consisting of both 1.5T and 3.0T, from GE, Phillips and Siemens, so fellows see the full gamut of MR imaging. Fellows will obtain extensive experience in all subspecialized examinations, including:
We generally find fellows are more interested in pursuing these subspecialized MRI examinations, but CT and Ultrasound volumes are also high, and fellows can choose to read these modalities as well. We have yet to meet a fellow requesting more fluoroscopy experience, and there is none required of fellows on any rotation.
International applicants must have a H1 Visa or Green Card and have passed Step 3 USMLE.
The following items are required for a completed application:

"The Body Imaging Fellowship at USF has provided the tools
and experience to become a top-tier radiologist and body imager. Working
under the guidance of leaders in the field, combined with high-quality
interdisciplinary conferences and a wide variety of cases, this program
continues to exceed expectations for the professional development of residents
and fellows."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my year with USF body radiology. The program offers a large volume of complex body cases that easily encompasses all areas of body imaging. All the attendings are easily approachable and enjoy teaching. I consider them all friends and looked forward to working with them each day. Would 100 percent recommend this program to anyone interested in body imaging."
