Program Information		Top
The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics has 855 beds and is closely allied with a 198-bed Veterans Administration Hospital on the same grounds. Both hospitals serve as major referral centers for the Midwest. The Department of Radiology consists of 50 staff physicians and 27 residents. Last year these hospitals performed approximately 240,000 radiological examinations. The Musculoskeletal Fellowship Program currently offers a one-year fellowship which includes hands-on experience with plain film studies, Multi-detector CT, MRI imaging, arthrograms, and interventional musculoskeletal procedures (needle biopsies, joint aspirations, epidural steroid injection, facet injections, and nerve root blocks). Fellows are also trained in the interpretation of pediatric orthopaedic cases and spine imaging. There is a variety of cases encompassing complex orthopaedic trauma, hand, foot, sports, tumors, pediatric and spinal disorders. The section also provides imaging services for a busy Rheumatology Clinic. We normally accept four fellows each year.
