Loma Linda University Health Education Consortium Program

Program Identity & Fit

Loma Linda's diagnostic radiology program is a university-affiliated, faith-based (Seventh-day Adventist) training program anchored by a single Level I Trauma Center serving a five-county region, alongside a Comprehensive Stroke Center, Transplant Institute, Children's Hospital, Cancer Center, and Proton Treatment Center, generating over 280,000 studies annually across a tightly clustered campus. The program pairs a structured, broad-based DR curriculum with a first-year guided research mentorship track, an emerging AI research laboratory, financial support for conference travel, and an author bonus structure, reflecting an institutional push toward integrating research and technology into daily practice. Career orientation is dual-track: fellowship placement (particularly Neuroradiology and Interventional Radiology, including an Early Specialization in Interventional Neuroradiology pathway) is heavily represented in match history, while the program also explicitly prepares residents for private practice. Distinctive features include the ESINR track, department-funded AIRP attendance, six weeks of PTO, and an unusually active global health rotation program (Trinidad, Philippines, China) tied to the university's international mission network.
