Emory Radiology’s commitment to equity and inclusion draws residents, fellows, and medical imaging under-graduates who are as diverse as they are accomplished. Trainees thrive in the department’s inclusive, collegial, and collaborative environment. Vice Chair for Education Mark Mullins, MD, PhD, leads by example as faculty and staff work alongside trainees to ensure academic and professional goals are met without sacrificing personal wellness. Trainees gain experience in Emory Healthcare’s high-volume tertiary care hospitals and specialty medical centers serving diverse urban and suburban populations. They also hone their skills at one of the nation’s busiest public hospitals, a bustling veterans medical center, and a renowned pediatric health care center.
Emory Radiology trains the best and brightest in its Diagnostic Radiology Residency, Medical Physics Residency, and Nuclear Medicine Residency programs. The department also provides three pathways into its highly competitive Interventional Radiology (IR) Residency program: Emory Integrated IR Residency, Emory Independent IR Residency, and Early Specialization in IR.
Emory Radiology additionally offers thirteen sub-specialty fellowship programs:

BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCE IN IMAGING PROGRAM
One of only three baccalaureate programs in Georgia, the Bachelor of Medical Science in Imaging (BMSc) program offers a three-year program for students with at least 30 hours of undergraduate coursework and no imaging experience and a one- or two-year bridge program for credentialed radiographers to earn a baccalaureate degree.
INVESTING IN STUDENT DIVERSITY: EPiC PIPELINE
The Emory Pipeline Collaborative (EPiC) provides students from disadvantaged backgrounds with pathways to health sciences careers like medical imaging.
NUCLEAR MEDICINE AND MOLECULAR IMAGING IN MEDICINE
The Molecular Imaging in Medicine (MIM) Track augments 32 months of diagnostic radiology residency training with 16 months of nuclear medicine training. Both the four-year (MIM4) and five-year (MIM5) programs cover diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of nuclear medicine plus facets of positron emission tomography (PET); MIM5 adds dedicated research time.
MEDICAL PHYSICS RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Launched in 2014, the Medical Physics Residency program offers 24 months of didactic education and practice in medical physics. Thanks to industry partner Alliance Medical Physics, the program gives students broad exposure to the types of services they could provide, whatever their career path.
TRACKING RESIDENT INNOVATION
The Adopt-A-Resident program has provided funding and faculty mentorship to help nearly 20 residents reimagine resident training since 2008, says Christopher Ho, MD, director of the Diagnostic Radiology Residency program.
RESIDENTS IMAGINE NEW APPROACHES TO RESEARCH
The Radiology Residency Research Track gives residents like Charlotte Chung, MD, PhD, a jump-start on a career in academic medicine.
GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAM OFFERS GLOBAL LEARNING
Since 2009, Emory Radiology has connected resident training at Emory with resident training at Addis Ababa University and Black Lion Hospital in Ethiopia.
THE POWER OF DIVERSITY IN NUCLEAR MEDICINE
Dr. Domnique Newallo enjoys working directly with patients. “My patients from minority communities appreciate the time I take with them and their families; I’m able to communicate more effectively with them because I understand and they know I understand where they’re coming from.”
