What makes KEM radiology different from other radiology departments ?
Since KEM is a tertiary care centre with various super specialities, there is a wide range of clinical cases to study. In addition, with good inter-departmental interaction, follow up of patients has been the biggest teacher to everyone in the department.
Along with reporting, residents are expected to do dedicated duties at the console, which enables every resident to understand the functioning of various equipment and decreases dependence on others.
We have very busy general vascular and non-vascular and, neurointervention programs
Due to early exposure to reporting and intervention, residents get good opportunities for independent hands-on experience. At the end of three years of residency, the department would have become your home away from home.
