Rhode Island Hospital-Brown University Health Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a four-year academic diagnostic radiology residency anchored at Rhode Island Hospital, a 719-bed Level I trauma center and the principal teaching hospital of Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School, with integrated rotations at Hasbro Children's Hospital, Women and Infants Hospital, and The Miriam Hospital serving over one million people across RI and Southeastern Massachusetts. The program emphasizes producing well-rounded general radiologists through high clinical volume (over 385,000 diagnostic exams and 5,000+ interventional procedures annually) combined with a deliberately small fellow complement that maximizes resident procedural involvement and one-on-one faculty supervision. Research infrastructure is substantial and structurally supported, including dedicated labs (image-guided therapies, human factors, AI, medical expectations), full-time research coordinators, and a shared Advanced Imaging Lab, though the stated career outcome is that over 98% of graduates pursue subspecialty fellowship training rather than direct academic research careers. The program values residents who function as integrated, essential team members and who intend to pursue subspecialty fellowship training reflective of national practice trends.
