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.
