The basic goal of the University of Tennessee/Methodist Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program is to prepare our resident physicians to become professional, capable, academically strong and compassionate radiologists. These physicians will realize that they are at the beginning of a career that involves life-long learning, change and self-improvement.  The path to the next goal in their life, ("graduating from a diagnostic radiology residency"), is a long road with a rich experience in the radiologic sciences. The resident is to be supported and guided by attending staff that provide appropriate friendly supervision and careful instruction with graduated responsibility.
The University of Tennessee/Methodist Healthcare Radiology Residency offers superior radiology training which includes transitional internship followed by four years of diagnostic training.  Residents receive training in all phases of diagnostic radiology. The following participating institutions contribute to the resident's educational experience:

  • Methodist University Hospital, a private 1000 bed tertiary hospital
  • Veteran Affairs Medical Center
  • The Regional Medical Center at Memphis, Level 1 Trauma Center and Burn Center
  • Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center
  • St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
  • Methodist Breast Center
