Thank you for your interest in our Neuroradiology Fellowship Program here
at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital located in Washington,
D.C. We're happy to have this opportunity to show you around. We're a medium-sized program that
offers a one-year ACGME-accredited fellowship in neuroradiology with the option of a second year.
Our hospital is located on campus between the Georgetown School of Medicine and the
undergraduate campus. Our reading room is on the second floor of our Concentrated Care Center
also known as the CCC building. On any given day, you will find a combination of
neuroradiology attendings, fellows, residents, and students collaborating in the reading room.
Our location within the CCC building is an ideal spot for referring clinicians to stop in and take
a look at current and interesting cases. We're a part of a large system of hospitals under the
MedStar umbrella, and we here at Georgetown are fortunate to see the most complex neurologic
and neurosurgical cases from throughout the system. Our fellows are able to see cases
from across the network via our unique and integrated PACS system. Our neuroradiology
fellows are involved with presenting for multiple tumor boards and are given dedicated time towards
preparing for those conferences. Despite the restrictions placed on us through COVID, we have
continued our dedication to teaching whether in the reading room, in person, or via teleradiology.
Our MRI suite is conveniently located right next door to our neuroradiology reading room.
The suite was recently renovated to enhance the patient experience, as well as create room for
our new scanners. We currently use a Siemens platform which includes a 1.5 Aera, 1.5 Sola,
and a 3 Tesla Verio. Our MR techs are the best around and are accustomed to including our
trainees in the conversation regarding patient imaging, protocoling, and safety. Our scanners
function 24/7 to be able to handle the volume of both ER, inpatient, and outpatient studies.
We have a busy procedural practice if that's something you are interested in learning more
about. We're a comprehensive stroke care center and perform various types of brain, spine,
and head and neck interventions, all of which our fellows are involved with. We are flexible with
the degree of procedural work our fellows do, with a range of observational and hands-on experiences
based upon your comfort and interests. Our neurointerventional team includes
decades of experience with both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. We use both fluoroscopy
and fluoroscopic CT to guide our interventions. We have a brand new fluoroscopy suite for our LP
and myelography patients, which gives both the patients and staff ample room for positioning
even in the most complex situations. We also have a dedicated bi-plane angiography suite just for
our neurointerventional radiology practice. A new hospital is currently in construction right next
door to us, again on the Georgetown campus. We are hopeful that it will be ready for you once
you begin your fellowship with us. Please look more into the features of the new hospital in the
links included. We have also included additional links to the MedStar GME system, as well as some
information on the Washington, D.C., area. We pride ourselves on collegiality and excellence in
teaching. We're a group interested in the lives of our team both inside and outside of the workplace.
Well-being is a priority for us as a division, which includes that of our trainees. We're proud
of the neuroradiology educational program we have created here for you at Georgetown. Many of our
attendings were prior residents and/or fellows at Georgetown Radiology, an attestation to the
positive workplace environment present here. We're excited that you're interested in our program
and wish you well in your endeavors. We hope to see you soon here at Georgetown Neuroradiology.
