Emergency & Trauma Radiology (VGH)

Two positions in Emergency & Trauma Imaging are offered as a 1 year fellowship which begins July 1st of each new academic year. The Fellowship provides excellent exposure to trauma and emergency imaging consisting of plain films, CT, MRI and a limited number of ultrasound exams.

Our department has an extremely close working relationship with the Emergency Medicine physicians and the Trauma Surgery team. The trauma radiology Fellow and Staff are directly involved with every major trauma during regular working hours and are expected to recommend, organize and interpret all relevant imaging to help manage the patient expeditiously. In addition, they are required to supervise and interpret cardiac computed tomography referred by the Emergency Department.

Teaching duties include Trauma Radiology rounds which are held each morning (Monday through Friday) to review any major trauma-related cases from the previous night. Fellows also conduct monthly Trauma Surgery "interesting case" rounds and are involved with Radiology and Emergency Medicine resident teaching.

Protected academic time includes a weekly half-day in which research is encouraged. As well, funding is available to attend conferences. Fellows are entitled to four weeks of vacation. For more information regarding this program please visit www.ertraumaradiology.ca.
