Letter from the Program Director
I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Musculoskeletal Radiology Fellowship Program at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. As program director, it is my privilege to introduce you to our renowned fellowship program, which stands at the forefront of diagnostic imaging, research, and education.
At MD Anderson, we take great pride in our commitment to providing comprehensive training that equips fellows with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to become leaders in the field of musculoskeletal imaging. While our institution is known worldwide for its excellent in cancer care and research, the Musculoskeletal Radiology fellowship is designed to give trainees a broad education in all aspects of Musculoskeletal imaging. Our trainees take advantage of the broad expertise available in the Texas Medical Center through designated rotations and optional electives at local hospitals focusing on trauma and sports imaging. Graduating fellows leave the program prepared for the full spectrum of Musculoskeletal imaging.
In addition to clinical education, our fellows are trained in research and quality assurance (QA) methodologies. Trainees are expected to complete a research project (typically a case series) and to participate in a QA project (either a pre-existing project or one developed by the trainee).
As a fellow in our program, you will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, resources, and support services that are unparalleled in the field. From our dedicated clinical oncology programs in-house to high-end sports medicine practices in the Texas Medical Center, fellows are immersed in a comprehensive and collaborative environment where they can thrive and grow both personally and professionally.
Thank you for considering the Musculoskeletal Radiology Fellowship Program at MD Anderson. We look forward to welcoming you to our community and embarking on this transformative journey together.
