One of the Largest Healthcare Systems

AdventHealth is one of the largest healthcare systems in the country. AdventHealth Central Florida Division performs over 2.5 million imaging studies and interventional procedures per year. Because of our large case volumes, wide breadth of pathology, high faculty-to-resident ratio, subspecialty training and advanced technology, AdventHealth has the ability to offer an exceptional radiology educational experience. Radiology residents will be trained with 3T MRI, PET-CT, digital breast tomosynthesis, and bi-plane angiography equipment. AdventHealth's radiology practice is fully staffed by over 180 attending radiologists and not dependent upon the resident workforce. Since residents are not responsible for interpreting all cases, the large number of studies at AdventHealth is completely to your benefit. You are allowed to take the time that you need to learn, see rare cases and incorporate them into research projects if you choose (which can be valuable to becoming a competitive fellowship applicant). AdventHealth's training and responsibility is more similar to actual radiology practice than some other training programs.

Facilities

The AdventHealth Central Florida Division is comprised of 19 hospital campuses and 35 free-standing ERs/outpatient imaging facilities across the Orlando metro area. Radiology residents will be centralized primarily on the AdventHealth Orlando campus but read exams performed from all campuses and outpatient facilities via a single, integrated PACS, HIS/EMR, and Power Scribe 360 voice recognition dictation system. AdventHealth Orlando has many strong surgical and medical sub-specialty departments to significantly enhance your educational experience, including the Walt Disney Children's Hospital, the AdventHealth Cancer Center, AdventHealth Transplant Institute, and an entire tower dedicated to Women's health.

Equipment

Of our 87 CT scanners, 2 are 384 detector row, 17 are 256 detector row, 32 are 128 detector row, and 36 are 64-detector row scanners. Many of these units have CT fluoroscopy for intervention. We have 56 MRI scanners including 28 3T units, one of which is an intraoperative unit. In the Orlando interventional radiology department there are 3 dedicated angiography suites with 2 bi-plane and 1 single-plane units. Mammographic services, including 43 digital breast tomosynthesis units, are offered across various campuses, with centralized resident education in digital mammography provided at the AdventHealth East Orlando campus. Nuclear medicine images are acquired at all hospital sites. There are 7 PET/CT scanners, 12 SPECT-CT units, 17 dual detector SPECT and 2 single head planar scanners within the AdventHealth system. Across all campuses there are multiple radiographic, fluoroscopic, and sonographic units with advanced technology such as 3D and 4D imaging.

Faculty

Our faculty is eager to teach you! Our attending radiologists have trained in numerous geographic locations and at many prestigious radiology training programs including Mayo Clinic, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, and many more. In addition, many of our core faculty members have taught at other radiology programs prior to arriving at AdventHealth, with others having served as residency or fellowship directors themselves.

Curriculum

There are 13 blocks in each academic year; each block is 4 weeks in length. The tabs below are representative of the rotations for each year of training. With the exception of one required Emergency/Call rotation and AIRP, all rotations during PGY-5 year are elective and may be customized to the residents subspecialty interests as long as it does not interfere with rotation schedule of other resident class requirements.

Conferences

Our program takes a multi-disciplinary approach to learning, such as our monthly Critical Care Conference, to learn from each other in an effort to continue refining the interpretive skills of the resident and increasing the value of their reports to referring clinicians.

We hold didactic and case conferences daily at noon Monday-Friday. A few times a month we also offer 7am morning lectures.
