This one-year fellowship has the fellow working with fellowship trained musculoskeletal radiologists, all of whom are known for teaching excellence. The program director is Andrew Chang, MD, who is dedicated to the education and success of the fellows. The program provides experience in image-guided interventional orthopaedic procedures, including arthrography, joint aspiration, lumbar puncture, soft tissue and bone biopsy techniques. Advanced training is provided in interpretation of musculoskeletal radiography, CT and MRI. The opportunity exists for the MSK fellow to learn neuro and body MRI from fellowship trained experts in these subspecialties as well.
