Body MRI Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital

The Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital is a one-year program that trains physicians in all aspects of MRI, body computed tomography (CT), cardiac MRI, abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, and non-invasive imaging. Fellows train at The Mount Sinai Hospital, where we routinely perform more than 29,000 ultrasounds, 36,000 CT scans, and 10,000 MRI studies each year. Approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the fellowship combines formal didactics, resident education, and research to support well-rounded, highly skilled physicians.

We train our fellows in all aspects of body MRI, including hepatobiliary, pancreatic, genitourinary, prostate, gastrointestinal, chest, and whole-body MRI. While we emphasize MRI, we also teach chest, abdominal, and pelvic computed tomography, as well as CT- and ultrasound-guided biopsy. Fellows also have a month of elective time. In addition to rotations, fellows are expected to participate in monthly journal clubs and weekly case conferences in radiology, as well as in clinical conferences with liver surgical oncology, pathology, liver transplant, hepatology, urology, gastroenterology, and oncology. As a fellow, you will oversee daily MRI protocols while supervising and pre-dictating all cases.

There are many research opportunities in our fellowship and we strongly encourage you to become involved with both translational and clinical research. Fellows participate in at least one retrospective or prospective research study that is presented at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Society of Abdominal Radiology, or Radiological Society of North America meetings.

You will have the opportunity to work within the Cancer Imaging Core at the BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute, which is under the auspices of the Department of Radiology and is comprised of several research labs, which are led either by a scientist or clinician-scientist. The Institute bridges basic and translational research and conducts cutting-edge research leveraging expertise in medicine, medical physics, and engineering. Fellows can work side by side with PhDs and post-doctoral fellows on exiting projects in different disciplines, including advanced neuroimaging, cancer imaging, nanomedicine, cardiovascular imaging, and artificial intelligence.

The wide variety of research opportunities in both the Department of Radiology and the BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute allows each fellow to pursue projects that interest them and further their own knowledge. The goals of research are not only to contribute to scientific discovery, but to complement and enhance each fellow's individual education.

We accept four fellows each year, with positions offered on a rolling basis. To apply, please email Jennifer Polanco, Senior Program Coordinator, at jennifer.polanco@mountsinai.org, with the following:
