Research and Extra-Clinical Activities

Emory Radiology encourages residents to pursue their scholarly interests through a wide range of opportunities. Residents can approach any faculty member with ideas for a research, clinical, or educational project. Many of our residents successfully compete for national programs such as the RSNA Education Project Award, RSNA Resident Research Grants, SIR Radiology Research Grants, the Academy for Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Research's Shark Tank competition, and more.
