Description

The section of pediatric imaging within the Department of Radiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin has one ACGME pediatric radiology fellowship position for the 2025-26 academic year and two fellowship positions for the 2026-27 academic year.

Children's Wisconsin, located on the same campus as the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, is the section’s major pediatric teaching hospital affiliation.
Children’s Wisconsin is one of the nation’s top pediatric facilities, serving children and families from all 50 states and many countries around the world.

As one of the busiest pediatric hospitals in the nation, the Children's Wisconsin is a level I pediatric trauma center and features one of the state’s only level IV neonatal intensive care units. The hospital is nationally recognized for its neonatal, cardiac, bone marrow transplant, and neurosciences programs. The pediatric liver transplant program is growing into one of the largest in the Midwest.

The section of pediatric imaging interprets more than 120,000 diagnostic radiology exams annually in all modalities from hospital and multiple community based
imaging centers. The department benefits from a diverse group of pediatric radiologists, all with subspecialty interests, including a robust pediatric interventional
radiology service and clinic supporting a major vascular anomalies referral center.

Pediatric radiology fellows have the opportunity to rotate through all aspects of pediatric radiology, including inpatient and outpatient experiences via an integrated PACS system. Subspecialty interests are strongly supported with fellowships tailored to the individual needs, interests, and goals of each fellow. There is a high faculty to fellow ratio, permitting in-depth and personalized training. Opportunities for a second subspecialty clinical instructor year are also offered. Additionally, internal moonlighting is available.

Fellows benefit from a supervised, comprehensive curriculum consisting of numerous lectures and multidisciplinary conferences. Fellows are additionally offered
many research, publication, and national meeting presentation opportunities. 

All fellows are mentored in the development of an educational pathway for academic and/or private practice success.

Prerequisite training includes satisfactory completion of a diagnostic radiology residency program accredited by the ACGME, the AOA or the RCPSC.

Candidates must be able to obtain a Wisconsin medical license.
