2009 Vascular/Interventional Radiology Fellowship at University of Illinois in Peoria

One-year vascular-interventional fellowships are now available at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, Illinois beginning July 2009. This one-year position will provide an outstanding opportunity to gain experience in all aspects of vascular and interventional radiology. The fellowship offers extensive vascular training with aortic aneurysm repair with endoluminal grafts, endovascular treatment of peripheral vascular disease, multiple clinical trials, IVC filters, bare stents and others. We perform uterine fibroid embolization, interventional oncology, venous access, hemodialysis graft maintenance, percutaneous imaging guided procedures, and more.

This one year ACGME-accredited abdominal imaging clinical fellowship will provide 12 months of structured comprehensive training in all phases of abdominal radiology. The fellowship includes 10 months of service rotations divided among (1) abdominal and pelvic MRI, (2) cross-sectional guided diagnostic (biopsy, drainage) and therapeutic (radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation) interventional procedures, and (3) inpatient and outpatient diagnostic CT and US. There are also 2 months of elective time which can be used by the candidate for training in any other area of their choosing, such as cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, musculoskeletal MRI, GI and/or GU radiology, etc. Training is in the tertiary care North Carolina Baptist Hospital. Ten multi-slice CT scanners (three of which are 64-slice scanners), and five MRI scanners (one of which is 3T), and 10 US scanners are in place. CT fluoroscopy is used for interventional procedures. A brand new outpatient imaging center with additional CT, MR and US scanners is expected to be completed before July, 2009. High volume clinical services are matched by constant close interaction between fellows and 12 highly experienced abdominal attending radiologists to insure in-depth experience. One-on-one interaction between attending and fellow in body MRI is emphasized. Daily afternoon conferences review all significant cases for the entire year. An abdominal imaging Journal Club, and multi-disciplinary conferences with clinicians are conducted constantly throughout the year to supplement the daily service coverage.
