Immersive Clinical Training
Fellows benefit from a collaborative learning environment anchored in a large reading room that houses all imaging subspecialties. This setting fosters real-time involvement in daily consultations and complex cases and cultivates strong working relationships with referring physicians.
Fellows play an active role in clinical care, including participating in the monthly multidisciplinary Vascular Malformation Clinic and family meetings presenting fetal MRI findings when on fetal imaging rotations.
Exceptional Educational Experience
Education is at the heart of our mission. Our training includes:
- Daily “Fellow Case of the Day” sessions featuring unknown cases across neuro, chest, cardiac, GI, GU, MSK, and Fetal imaging, emphasizing protocols and interpretive pearls.
- Weekly Core Curriculum lectures delivered by pediatric radiology faculty.
- Monthly pediatric radiology Peer Learning discussions.
- Quarterly Journal Club discussions to engage with current literature.
- Fellows also have opportunities to teach radiology residents and visiting medical students through our partnership with the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
- Robust multidisciplinary conference schedule, including:
- Cardiac Case Conference - Child Advocacy & Protection Conference
- CNS Tumor Conference - ED/Radiology QI Conference
- Endocrinology - ENT
- General Surgery - GI
- MSK Tumor Conference - Metabolic/Genetics Conference
- NICU Rounds - Maternal Fetal Medicine Case Review
- Neuroradiology Rounds - Ophthalmology
- Pulmonary - Hepatobiliary Conference
- Seizure Conference - Solid Tumor Conference
- Trauma - Urology
- Orthopedic Sport Medicine/Fracture Conference
Research and Mentorship
Research is a vital and highly integrated component of our fellowship program. Fellows benefit from a wealth of research opportunities across a broad spectrum of pediatric radiology topics. With an active academic environment and a faculty committed to mentorship, fellows are supported in developing projects that align with their interests and career goals.
Each fellow selects a dedicated faculty research mentor and engages in a scholarly project—either novel or ongoing—with the aim of presenting at the annual Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) meeting and submitting a manuscript for publication. Research projects are not limited to structured initiatives; many originate organically from daily case discussions in the reading room, clinical questions, or insights gained during multidisciplinary conferences.
Our program’s collaborative culture and high clinical volume naturally foster meaningful and frequent opportunities to participate in impactful research. Whether fellows are interested in imaging innovation, clinical outcomes, or quality improvement, they will find ample support and resources to bring their ideas to fruition.
Supportive and Inclusive Environment
We believe that a collaborative and respectful learning environment is essential for exceptional medical training. Our program welcomes fellows from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds and is committed to fostering a culture where every trainee feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Fellows benefit from close mentorship, open communication, and a collegial atmosphere that encourages the exchange of ideas and perspectives. We are intentional about creating a space where all voices are heard – whether in the reading room, at the conference table, or during case discussions.
We recognize that diverse experiences and viewpoints enhance clinical care, research, and education, and we are proud to cultivate a community that reflects and celebrates this richness.
Clinical Responsibilities
Fellows experience a diverse, high-volume clinical practice balanced with academic and teaching opportunities. Fellows participate in 12 weekends of call annually, gaining valuable real-world experience in pediatric radiology. Optional night shifts working directly with CHCO pediatric radiology offer experience reading a high volume of general pediatric radiology, including body and neuro.
We are proud to offer a rich, hands-on educational experience in pediatric imaging and look forward to training the next generation of leaders in the field.
