Neuroradiology Fellowship

The UCSF Neuroradiology Fellowship Program offers three pathways for candidates interested in fellowship-level training. All require one (post-residency) year of ACGME neuroradiology fellowship training, with ten accredited ACGME slots available per year. The primary pathway includes one year of ACGME neuroradiology fellowship and one year as a junior faculty Clinical instructor, and is offered to radiologists wishing to develop careers in academic neuroradiology. Eighteen full-time faculty share in the training. Training includes all aspects of diagnostic neuroradiology (including spine procedures, neurograms, pediatrics, functional MRI, MSI/MEG, spectroscopy, PET, head/neck, angiography) as well as exposure to Neuro Endovascular Surgery. There are many ongoing research programs in all neuroradiology disciplines. Weekly interdisciplinary conferences highlight the clinical interactions. The fellowship enables radiologists to become independent, competent contributors to the investigation of neurological disease.
