Welcome

On behalf of Emory University, I would like to thank you for visiting this page for the Emory Radiology Research Track. The Emory Radiology Research Track is a unique 4-year program integrated within the Diagnostic Radiology Residency and is part of the key mission of the residency to help tailor a training program for each individual resident. The Research Track is geared towards residents who seek academic radiology careers that include a significant component of research. 

The goal of the research track is to provide the foundation of an outstanding clinical education and supplement it with the tools and research experience that promotes skills needed to begin a career in academic radiology. There are 4 major missions of the Emory Radiology Research Track:

  • Teach and foster the clinical skills necessary to be a successful academic radiologist
  • Provide an avenue for trainees to develop research skills
  • Advance radiology research and the field of radiology as a whole
  • Produce well-trained, well-rounded radiologists that can be leaders in research. 

By incorporating structured research teaching and experiences longitudinally throughout a radiology residency, we believe these goals can be achieved during the course of a typical radiology residency (4 years). 

The Emory Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences is renowned for its scientific accomplishments and strong leadership in translational and basic research. The department has many skilled researchers working in a variety of fields, including such wide-ranging topics as nuclear cardiology, radiopharmaceutical discovery, breast imaging, and functional MRI, among others. Residents have access to the research initiatives and resources across the Emory enterprise, including the Emory Department of Biomedical Informatics, the Emory/Georgia Tech Biomedical Engineering Department, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and many other Georgia-based academic, industrial, and clinical partners.

Residents select their own projects and work alongside multidisciplinary research teams in a highly collaborative environment with state-of-the-art resources. Our Research Track residents have a strong history of success publishing peer reviewed papers, presenting their research at national meetings, obtaining resident directed research grants (such as the RSNA Resident Research Award), and transitioning into their own academic careers. Our goal is to help each of our residents achieve their potential as clinical radiologists and leaders in the field.

Thank you for taking this time to learn more about our program. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about the department or research track, and we look forward to meeting you in the future.

Sincerely,
Brent Weinberg, MD, PhD
Radiology Research Track Residency Director
