University of Miami-Jackson Health System Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an academic Nuclear Medicine residency housed within the University of Miami/Jackson Health System Department of Radiology, drawing on Jackson Memorial Hospital's high-acuity, safety-net patient population and the University of Miami Hospitals & Clinics/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the region's only NCI-designated cancer center. The training environment emphasizes oncologic imaging volume and complex transplant-related nuclear medicine cases given Jackson's status as a leading transplant center, situating trainees in a tertiary/quaternary referral setting. The department explicitly invests in resident research infrastructure (dedicated Office of Radiology Research Administration, IRB support, structured research curriculum, and an Imaging Research Committee reviewing resident projects), signaling that scholarly output is a built-in expectation rather than an optional add-on. Departmental leadership also foregrounds AI/data-science-driven imaging innovation, suggesting the program values residents comfortable engaging with informatics and emerging technology alongside core nuclear medicine training.
