Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a large, subspecialized academic diagnostic radiology program at a 1,100+ bed tertiary/quaternary referral center performing over one million imaging studies annually, with a Level 1 trauma, transplant, and comprehensive stroke designation and a top-15 busiest ED in the nation. The categorical structure integrates a transitional year with early radiology exposure (bootcamp, radiography month) and offers all four years of training entirely in-house, including pediatric rotations at the on-site children's hospital and enfolded ABR pathways in nuclear medicine (16-month) and pediatric radiology (15-month). Research is structurally supported (departmental funding for lead-author national presentations) but explicitly framed as free of a "publish or perish" culture, positioning the program as fellowship-track-oriented rather than research-mandated; a high proportion of graduates pursue subspecialty fellowships, and over half historically remain at the institution for fellowship or faculty positions. The program values procedural autonomy across DR and hands-on IR/neuro-IR exposure throughout residency, subspecialty mentorship from fellowship-trained faculty, and moonlighting opportunities across all four years.
