“Duke Radiology is an amazing place to train. The teaching is excellent, including the one-on-one instruction that we get during readouts and the fantastic group lectures. Independent call is crucial to becoming a capable and confident radiologist. And the volume and diversity of cases we see at Duke ensures that anyone who trains here will be ready to thrive in any practice setting.”

"I chose Duke for residency because I wanted to receive world class training in radiology and research, while working within a community that emphasizes personal health and growth. The learning environment at Duke challenges me to become a better physician on a daily basis, but also gives me the support I need to develop into a well-rounded person outside of the reading room."

Call Shifts

Duke Radiology prides itself in maintaining independent call when residents render high quality preliminary interpretations, significantly directing patient care and influencing outcomes without the supervision of an attending. We believe this is a unique strength of our program that allows our residents to mature into independent radiologists, ready to hit the ground running following graduation. Call shifts are structured so that residents have graduated responsibilities as they progress through residency, eventually becoming prepared and confident to take autonomous call.
