Larkin Community Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Larkin Community Hospital's Diagnostic Radiology program is a community-based, ACGME-accredited four-year track (PGY-2 entry) built on a curated rotation network rather than a single tertiary flagship: pediatric imaging at Nemours, MSK at University of Cincinnati, mandatory AIRP pathology course in Washington D.C., dedicated breast imaging at Pembroke Pink, and neuroradiology with a Gamma Knife-focused faculty group. Fellowship placement is the explicit end goal, with a strong and consistent track record of subspecialty fellowships (neuroradiology, MSK, breast, body, IR, pediatric) at recognized university programs, and an ESIR pathway offers accelerated IR training for up to two residents per class. Research is institutionally supported through a dedicated Department of Research and Academic Affairs and resident-scholar opportunities, but it functions as a structured supplement to clinical training rather than a defining identity. The program values residents who can handle a rotation-heavy, travel-intensive structure and are oriented toward subspecialization and board success (100% first-time pass rate) over general practice.
