Pediatric Radiology Fellowship Program
Apeksha Chaturvedi, M.D.
Director, Pediatric Radiology Fellowship Program
Welcome to the Pediatric Radiology fellowship program! For potential trainees, I hope the information provided on our shared websites will prove useful in making the very important decision regarding where to pursue your fellowship.
Our program offers a robust clinical experience in pediatric radiology and several opportunities for collaborative research. The first year of fellowship is fully accredited by the ACGME for one fellow. Additional, focused subspecialty training in Pediatric Neuroradiology is available to qualified fellows who have successfully completed the first year of pediatric radiology fellowship. The Department rigorously supports research and educational endeavors.
