Stanford, Washington and Yale offer highly-rated radiology programs.
One of the key components to diagnosing an injury is to take and review x-rays. A career in the growing field of radiology involves extensive work in taking and reviewing x-rays, along with MRI and CT scan images. Choosing a quality program in radiology can increase a student's knowledge of the field and enhance her chances of finding solid employment upon graduation.
Stanford University
The Stanford University School of Medicine's radiology program has played a leading role in the development of new technology in the field of radiology. Since 2005, researchers at Stanford have received over 100 patents in radiology technology. Currently, the school offers a resident program, a program for medical students and continuing education opportunities. Individuals participating in the four year residency program work side-by-side with researchers while they work on the advanced technology the students will use during their career.
Medical students at Stanford University benefit from clerkships offered by the department of radiology. Programs include study in diagnostic radiology, nuclear radiology, pediatric radiology and nuclear medicine. This opportunity gives Stanford medical students an additional option when choosing a specialty.

University of Washington
Radiology students at the University of Washington benefit from eight different radiology fellowship programs that are offered upon completion of the student's residency. In addition, the faculty to resident ratio is an attractive 3:1, making the UW program a perfect fit for those looking to work under a mentor.
Program options include an Education Pathway, where residents are trained to become educators, the Research track, which teaches residents the skills needed to work in medical research and improvement, and the Global Health rotation, which gives residents the opportunity to work for a month in a developing nation.

Yale University
As the home of the first x-ray taken in 1896, the Yale School of Medicine is an easy choice for residents interested in pursuing radiology. Students looking to pursue a fellowship benefit from opportunities in the areas of abdominal imaging, interventional radiology, musculoskeletal imaging and neuroradiology. Students interested in a career in radiology research can study nuclear medicine in the university's new PET center.
Residents choose from two programs when entering Yale, the Diagnostic Radiology Program and the Nuclear Medicine Radiology program. Each program requires a four year commitment. Many of Yale's graduates enter the educational field after graduation.
