Fellowships: Musculoskeletal Radiology

Program Information

The Musculoskeletal Fellowship Program currently offers a one-year fellowship which includes hands-on experience with plain film studies, Multi-detector CT, MRI imaging, arthrograms, and interventional musculoskeletal procedures (needle biopsies, joint aspirations, epidural steroid injection, facet injections, and nerve root blocks). Fellows are also trained in the interpretation of pediatric orthopaedic cases and spine imaging. There is a variety of cases encompassing complex orthopaedic trauma, hand, foot, sports, tumors, pediatric and spinal disorders. The section also provides imaging services for a busy Rheumatology Clinic. We normally accept four fellows each year. Fellows receive free medical and dental care for themselves and their immediate family at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Additionally, malpractice insurance is provided through the State of Iowa at no charge.
