Job Description:
We're saving lives, building careers, and reimagining
healthcare. We can't wait to grow alongside you. At Tufts Medicine,
you'll make an impact and build your career, supported by a
community of brilliant, compassionate colleagues. Every single
person at Tufts Medicine plays an integral role in building a
holistic healthcare experience that's accessible, empowering and,
most of all, human. The Tufts Medical Center Department of
Radiology is pleased to offer an Emergency and Trauma Radiology
(ETR) Fellowship for academic year (2 spots) and (2 spots). This
program is not ACGME accredited and we accept fellows outside any
matching process. Program Description
- This is a one-year fellowship designed for radiologists wishing
to receive advanced training in emergency radiology with a focus in
neuroradiology. This training program may be suitable for those
considering a career in Emergency Radiology, private
practice/community radiology, and Teleradiology. Fellows are
exposed to Emergency and Trauma Radiology at a Level 1 Trauma
Academic Medical Center in the heart of the city of Boston. Primary
focus of clinical work involves interpretation of the imaging of
acutely ill and traumatized patients presenting to Tufts Medical
Center (TMC) Emergency Department.
- At TMC, all reading rooms have recently undergone major
renovation and provide a modern and attractive working environment
for ETR fellows.
- ETR Fellows serve as key members of the care team and
facilitate timely communication with Emergency Medicine, Trauma
Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Cardiothoracic
and Vascular Surgery teams.
- ETR Fellows will be supervised by dedicated Neuroradiology,
Body, and MSK Attending Radiologists, depending on their rotations,
during normal business hours (8 am to 5 pm). After 5 pm, imaging
services are covered by our dedicated remote nighthawk radiologists
with Day Float and Night Float residents until 2 am. After 2 am,
all imaging services are covered by the Night Float resident with
Teleradiology Attending coverage. There is no mandatory after-hours
duty for ETR fellows, i.e. they are only required to work from 8 am
to 5 pm on week days. There are no mandatory evening shifts,
weekend shifts, or overnight shifts. Clinical Rotations
- 6-month Emergency Radiology (acute neuro, body and MSK
pathology and trauma)
- 6-month Neuroradiology (acute inpatient and outpatient CNS
pathology)
- For those trainees who already have, or plan to acquire,
Massachusetts Full Physician License by the start date of July 1st
(or during the fellowship), they can participate in a voluntary
Moonlighting within TMC Radiology to earn extra income by covering
weekend calls (Saturday and Sunday, 8 am to 5 pm) as an attending
(i.e. signing off reports).
- Academic time of up to half-a-day per week may be granted to
those who would like to be involved in research and/or quality
improvement projects. All ETR fellows may attend resident teaching
sessions when their schedule allows. Fellows' clinical performance
will be evaluated and reviewed by the Program Director and
Assistant Program Director on a regular basis, with formal feedback
sessions at least every 6 months. Involvement in research and/or
quality improvement projects are encouraged but not required. ETR
fellows have several opportunities to participate in teaching
activities for Tufts University medical students and TMC radiology
residents. Career Options After Fellowship Qualified fellows are
strongly considered to transition into attending roles at the
conclusion of fellowship. Hiring options include a private practice
position for those who wish to transition into community radiology,
mix of both community and academic radiology, and an academic
position at TMC. For those who wish to move onto Teleradiology
practice anywhere in the world, our program offers an excellent
well-rounded training including all aspects of emergency, trauma,
and acute imaging. Applying to the Emergency Radiology Fellowship
