Our five-year categorical program includes an integrated internship year.
Rotations during the R1 through R4 years are provided in three major hospitals with extensive outpatient services and the state’s only adult and pediatric Level 1 Trauma Centers. The full spectrum of pediatric radiology is provided at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, one of the largest pediatric hospitals in the nation.

*Emergency Radiology (UAMS): This rotation is specifically for R1 residents providing exposure to radiographs, CTs, and ultrasound cases in the emergent setting. Residents work from 2-10 pm, staffing out cases with attending radiologists.
**Emergency Radiology (UAMS): This rotation is the Emergency Radiology rotation for Upper Level residents (R2-4), who read emergent cases from the ED at UAMS, Arkansas Children’s Little Rock, Arkansas Children’s Northwest, and the VA. Residents also work from 2-10 pm, staffing out cases with attending radiologists and providing a transition of care to oncoming night float residents.
Night Float: The night float rotation is a one to two week rotation that runs from Sunday- Friday. The Sunday shift is 8:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m., while Monday-Friday is 10:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m. During night float, the upper level resident will provide preliminary reads on all emergent cases from four separate hospitals: UAMS, Arkansas Children’s Little Rock, Arkansas Children’s Northwest, and the John L. McClellan Memorial Veteran’s Hospital. Lower level R1 residents staff out all neuroradiology cases at 7:00 a.m. with UAMS neuroradiology staff, while the upper level resident will staff out all body cases with UAMS body staff.
