Curriculum
The training experience is centered at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. This is integrated with annual rotations at the White River Junction Veterans Administration Hospital, a three-month rotation in Pediatric Radiology at Children's Hospital Boston, and a four-week course in radiologic-pathologic correlation at the AIRP of the ACR in Washington, DC, for all of our residents.
Over the four years of residency, we expect residents to develop a thorough understanding of cross-sectional anatomy in both health and disease. The resident should be able to distinguish normal versus abnormal findings, including normal variants. He or she is expected to obtain a thorough knowledge of all indications for particular exams and what studies would enhance the diagnostic workup of various disorders. The resident should be able to describe an abnormality concisely and objectively, and generate an accurate differential diagnosis based on imaging from various modalities.
