Easing the Transition
Boot Camp

Boot camp 2023
Taking place during the first month of the R1 year, Boot Camp orientation is designed to ease the transition from clinical intern to budding radiologist. The schedule includes basic radiology lectures by senior residents and faculty from all divisions, discussion of policies and procedures, time to complete administrative requirements, and hands-on simulation activities. Senior residents offer practical advice related to daily responsibilities, call, board preparation, and radiology life in general. We solicit feedback through an anonymized questionnaire and make changes accordingly to the Boot Camp schedule based on the feedback received.
What Our Residents Have to Say About Boot Camp
“Call prep, critical findings, emergency radiology and dictation evaluations were all extremely valuable lectures. Most lectures done by residents were to the point. Covering what they know is important. Most lectures were good but some can be tweaked to make them shorter.”

iPads
The department provides every resident an iPad for personal use throughout the residency. Beginning this year, these will be preloaded with helpful applications.
Website Access
We also pay for your access to e-anatomy, RadPrimer and STATdx for your entire residency. These tools will help you prepare for clinical responsibilities and the CORE exam.
