Do residents receive instruction in Radiologic Physics?
Residents are given instruction in radiation physics by our full-time radiation physicist who provides a series of approximately 30 didactic lectures covering radiologic physics and radiation protection. A course on radiobiology is given by Dr. Eric Hall from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. All residents attend this course, which is organized by the Department of Radiology at Montefiore Medical Center. • Do residents keep a log book that documents procedural activity?
