University of Miami-Jackson Health System Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a large academic diagnostic radiology program anchored at Jackson Memorial Hospital, a major public safety-net and tertiary referral center, with additional rotations across University of Miami Hospital, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, and dedicated imaging centers, exposing residents to high-volume, high-acuity, and subspecialty-dense imaging across a diverse South Florida population. Research is a structural requirement rather than optional enrichment: each resident must complete a major original project over the four-year program, present it at an Annual Residents' Day, and pursue publication in a peer-reviewed journal, supported by institutional resources such a dedicated 3T research MRI magnet. The program explicitly frames its graduates as prepared for either academic or private-practice radiology careers, indicating a dual-track orientation rather than a singular fellowship-pipeline identity. The combined DR/IR track (3 positions annually alongside 9 categorical DR spots) signals institutional investment in procedural/interventional pathways alongside traditional diagnostic training.
