Message from the Chairman

"Our residency-training program has earned a favorable reputation for developing well-trained radiologists. Residents are exposed to a unique blend of institutional education, research, clinical service, and citizenship. The strength of our program is the one on one educational interaction that occurs between radiology faculty and the residents. Graduated supervision provides the framework for the development of manual procedural skills and judgment. Residents and faculty have been recognized for their outstanding presentations at both national and international meetings."

Message from the Radiology Residency Program Director

"The principal objective of our residency program is to provide four years of well-rounded education in all phases of diagnostic imaging. At the completion of their training, residents are optimally prepared in all radiologic specialties.

The Department prides itself on being able to offer a busy, academically challenging residency in a supportive environment that fosters learning and professional development. Strong emphasis is placed on the quality of the teaching, either in daily clinical film reading sessions or in conferences. The close-knit faculty-resident relationship produces many collaborative clinical research projects. This personable philosophy inherent in our training program reduces much of the stress of postgraduate medical education and optimizes learning opportunities.

Winthrop is a tertiary care medical center, and one of the major clinical campuses for the SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine. Medical students rotate through our Department for third-year clerkships and fourth-year electives. Our program, which is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, accepts three residents per year, after a clinical year. Interested applicants can apply to do radiology and their clinical year in medicine at Winthrop through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS)."
