The Fellowship

Children’s Hospital Boston, with 350 beds, is one of the largest pediatric medical centers in North America. Our Pediatric Radiology Fellowships include training in all aspects of pediatric imaging.

Our department provides seven to nine fellows each year with broad clinical experience and many opportunities to participate in clinical, basic and health services research. We offer extensive academic support through two libraries and our own research librarian, and research facilities in the neighboring Kresge Laboratory for Pediatric Imaging Research and the John F. Enders Pediatric Research Laboratories building.

The first year of fellowship is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), and an elective second year is available for general and subspecialty training. During the first year, all interpretations by fellows are reviewed by a staff radiologist to allow significant on-the-job learning and teaching. During the second year, the fellows are appointed junior faculty with the opportunity for independent work and teaching.

Each year the radiology fellows choose a faculty member to receive the prestigious John A. Kirkpatrick Teaching Award. Winners include current faculty members Carlo Buonomo, MD, Susan A. Connolly, MD, N. Thorne Griscom, MD, Paul K. Kleinman, MD, Robert L. Lebowitz, MD, and Laureen M. Sena, MD.

Michael J. Callahan, MD, chief of the Computed Tomography (CT) Division, is director of the fellowship program. George A. Taylor, MD, is radiologist-in-chief and the John A. Kirkpatrick Professor of Radiology.
