NuHealth - Nassau Health Care Corporation

Welcome

Welcome to Nassau University Medical Center's Radiology Residency Training Program.

Nassau University Medical Center is located in the center of Long Island about 30 miles from Manhattan. The Department of Radiology at NUMC offers an approved four-year program in Diagnostic Radiology leading to board certification. The 30-room department performs over 150,000 examinations a year in all diagnostic radiology subspecialty areas. Our department is under the supervision of a dedicated, full-time staff. Our hospital is in the process of a major modernization effort, and our department has benefited with new state-of-the-art equipment for most areas.

An extensive departmental library, including a teaching file on DVD and other audiovisual aids, permits ready access to current and standard educational materials. A large conference room with audiovisual equipment is located within the department. Four residency positions are offered each year.

We maintain a program where residents learn in a comfortable, upbeat, and progressive environment. We provide top-quality patient care while training outstanding clinical and academic radiologists. Our faculty members are dedicated to promoting a rich environment for learning, teaching, and practicing clinical radiology. The faculty and residents are friendly and usually on a first name basis. We promote and encourage Resident input in department matters. Residents have a seat on every department committee as well as many hospital committees. Residents have been integral in protocol development, lecture and curriculum changes and IT initiatives.

Our residency curriculum is structured and includes several rotations at our affiliated hospitals in the North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System. These outside rotations supplements case volume in areas such as cardiac radiology, pediatric radiology and PET imaging.

The department conducts a comprehensive teaching program to prepare residents for their board certification. Lectures on physics are part of the residency program. The physicists are also available for consultation on issues related to radiation safety. At the end of their training, our residents become independent, confident, and highly competent radiologists.

Our residents are happy and well-trained. Regardless of whether your chosen career path is private practice or academic, you will be successful.

If you need any additional information, we encourage you to stop by for a visit, call or e-mail us.

Sincerely,

Victor Scarmato, M.D. Chairman, Department of Radiology
