The UC Davis Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program is located at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, the major teaching facility of the UC Davis School of Medicine. UC Davis Medical Center serves the health-care needs of the Sacramento metropolitan area, and is a referral center for patients throughout northern California and Nevada. The hospital provides tertiary care in all fields of medicine including the burn center, Cancer Center, organ transplantation, and is the major trauma service to area residents.

The four-year program in diagnostic radiology consists of rotations through the various services of the divisions of diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine, and includes daily teaching conferences and didactic sessions. Each resident must also attend the four-week course in radiology-pathology correlation at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Washington, D.C.

A distinguished faculty provides exceptional teaching in all specialty areas of diagnostic radiology. The physics of diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine radiobiology are an integral part of our curriculum.Our full-time and volunteer clinical faculty conduct daily resident teaching conferences. Weekly interdisciplinary conferences are integrated with the teaching activities of other departments and specialties of the School of Medicine including surgery, pediatrics, neuroscience, orthopedics, cardiology, infectious diseases, urology, and pulmonary medicine.

Over 360,000 radiological examinations are performed each year in the Department of Radiology. The high ratio of faculty to residents provides for careful resident supervision on all cases. The radiology department has an extensive teaching file of radiographs and videodiscs including the American College of Radiology collection and a museum of interesting teaching cases. A well-stocked department library contains current editions of most radiology sub-specialty textbooks, radiology journals, videotapes, and a collection of CD-ROMs and videodiscs for computerized learning programs.

An internship (PG-I year) is required for entrance into our program. The internship must be accredited clinical training in internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery or surgical specialties, obstetrics and gynecology, neurology, family and community medicine, emergency medicine, or any combination of these. No more than a total of three months may be spent in radiology, radiation oncology, and/or pathology. Since our department does not offer internships, we do not participate in the National Internship Matching Program for the PG-I year of training. However, we do participate in the match at the PG-II level, and we are currently offering six positions to begin July 2009. All residents must be licensed to practice medicine in the State of California by the end of their PG-II year.

Graduates of foreign medical schools must comply with restrictions imposed by the Medical Board of California and be eligible for, or be licensed to practice in California. Information concerning licensure is available from the Division of Licensing, Medical Board of California, 1430 Howe Avenue, Sacramento, Calif. 95825, telephone (916) 263-2344.

All applications must be submitted via the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). An application for a position should be submitted no later than November 1 for residency training to begin July 1. Personal interviews are granted by invitation only. Interviews are scheduled for January, after the application is complete and prior to the final selection process.
