 The Division of Pediatric Radiology is based at Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH), a 316-bed tertiary care regional referral center and teaching hospital with an emphasis on research. Located five minutes from the UAMS Medical Center, ACH is the only pediatric medical center in the state and the 6th largest in the country.
This clinically-oriented program provides training in all aspects of pediatric imaging, including plain films, digital fluoroscopy, neonatal radiology (includes ECMO), neuroradiology, nuclear medicine, interventional procedures, angiography, cardiac imaging, ultrasound, CT, MRI (including MR angiography and spectroscopy), and bone densitometry. A fetal imaging program is under development.
The radiology facilities at ACH are state-of-the-art and include North America's first clinically available 320-slice volume CT scanner. The department will soon be physically expanding with additional hospital construction.
The faculty includes 12 board-certified radiologists, and all who are eligible hold a CAQ in Pediatric Radiology. All of the subspecialties are represented. The fellow rotates in each area of the department and is responsible for his/her own daily schedule. Flexibility in rotations is provided based on the fellow's interests.
The division currently offers one position for a one-year fellowship that is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Beginning in 2010, two fully-funded fellow positions will be available.
Ample research opportunities are available, and the fellow is expected to produce one academic project during the course of the fellowship. A new learning center area provides office space, computer access, and a PACS station for lecture preparation, reading, and imaging consultation. The fellow participates in numerous intra- and interdepartmental conferences.
