Goals of Our Program<\/h2>\n
\"UVA

2021-2022 Diagnostic Radiology Chief Residents Neal Desai, MD, and Nicole Kapral, MD<\/p><\/div>\n

We aim to develop within our residents the skills and interpretive ability necessary to perform as competent clinical diagnostic radiologists, and to encourage critical thinking and creativity as a basis for sound clinical practice. Residents are exposed to all aspects of radiology and medical imaging through our eight subspecialty areas<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and learn a disciplined approach to medical problem solving and decision making.\u00a0A comprehensive understanding of medical imaging techniques is emphasized, followed by hands-on experience that will challenge residents to assume greater responsibilities as the training progresses.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of training, residents will be\u00a0well prepared\u00a0to perform and interpret diagnostic and therapeutic imaging procedures and be acquainted with\u00a0numerous investigational procedures.\u00a0They will be able to serve as consultants in the appropriate selection of diagnostic exams. Above all, residents will\u00a0be well-versed in performing\u00a0their duties\u00a0with collegiality and a keen sensitivity for the physical and psychological well-being of patients, residents, faculty, and staff.<\/p>\n

Hear from current residents and our Department Chair about what makes UVA Radiology special while moving through the department’s world-class facilities.<\/p>\n
