Education Committee The Department’s Education Committee is lead by Dr. Sofka and is composed of Drs. Pavlov, Endo, Miller (thru 5/2012), Rich Fleury and Tara Browe. During the past year, the Fellowship program had its first Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) site review. To prepare for this, extensive background material regarding HSS, the Department, Faculty and Fellows had to be collected and collated. Tara Browe, Fellowship Coordinator, worked diligently to compile necessary documentation and format as required. The site visit ran very smoothly. Tara is an asset to the Radiology Department Fellowship program. She is the go-to person regarding all Fellowship issues. Her organizational skills, proactivity and ability to cooperate with others has been instrumental in the success of the Fellowship program.
A Focus on Medical Students Medical students are the future of healthcare. The Department and our team work
diligently to ensure that they receive the best training and experience of the expertise available at HSS. We have created a curriculum for the students and provide unparalleled supervision. The Attending Radiology Faculty offers lectures to medical students, residents, and other observers while on their HSS clinical rotations. Lectures in musculoskeletal imaging are given to rotating medical students.
Residents in Radiology, Orthopedics, and Rheumatology Musculoskeletal curriculum for the New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) radiology residents receive core musculoskeletal imaging lectures. This curriculum material is updated annually. In addition to the core curriculum lectures, the Department offers teaching conferences for the NYPH residents every other week. We host PGY-1 orthopedic surgery residents for MRI, CT, and X-Ray radiograph readout sessions three times a week and give a weekly case-based sports conference for orthopedic surgery
