The Transitional Radiology Preliminary Program is sponsored by the Department of Internal Medicine in Emory University School of Medicine and meets the standards of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

The overall goal of the Transitional Radiology Preliminary Program is to produce well-rounded interns ready for radiology residency and provide a well-balanced experience through a variety of clinical settings and hospital environments. In addition to clinical service, participants enjoy a variety of educational activities. Interns will participate in daily educational noon conferences, small group sessions, and our monthly Transitional Year Core Lecture Series. 

Coming to Emory for your preliminary year has these added benefits:

• Earlier acclimation to the large and complex Emory system;
• Earlier introduction to the Department of Radiology faculty and upper-level residents;
• Opportunities in starting longitudinal research/quality improvement projects; and
• Solidification of relationships with other residents practicing at Emory in other subspecialties.
