Training Programs and Clinical Education

The Department of Radiology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC trains physicians, scientists, and medical students across a range of programs on the USC Medical Campus. Our clinical training sites include Los Angeles General Medical Center, Keck Hospital of USC, and USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, as well as an on-campus outpatient imaging facility, a PET center, and a small animal imaging center.

Training programs include the ACGME-accredited four-year USC/LA General Diagnostic Radiology Residency, ten fellowship programs with eighteen funded positions across our subspecialty divisions, and medical student rotations and selectives for approximately 80 to 100 students per year.

Diagnostic Teaching

Training Hospitals

Our residents and fellows train across three distinct clinical environments on the USC Medical Campus, each offering a different patient population and case mix. This breadth is intentional and is one of the defining features of training at USC Radiology.

Training Programs

We offer graduate medical training and educational programs across three pathways. Whether you are a medical student exploring radiology, a residency applicant, or a subspecialty fellow, the links below will walk you through what each program offers and how to apply.

Medical Student Rotations

We train approximately 80 to 100 medical students per year through elective and selective rotations in diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, neuroradiology, and nuclear medicine. A visiting student clerkship is available for non-USC students. Individually tailored subspecialty rotations are also supported.

Residency Program

Our four-year, ACGME-accredited USC/LA General Diagnostic Radiology Residency trains residents at three hospitals on the USC Medical Campus. The program provides breadth and depth across imaging subspecialties, with research opportunities and financial support for national conference presentations.

Fellowship Program

We offer ten fellowship programs with eighteen funded positions across our subspecialty divisions. ACGME-approved programs include Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology. Additional fellowships are offered in Nuclear Medicine, Nuclear Medicine PET/CT, Emergency and Trauma Radiology, Musculoskeletal Radiology, Body Imaging and Intervention, Cardiothoracic Imaging and Intervention, Breast Imaging, and the combined Breast and Body Fellowship.
