CardioThoracic Imaging Fellowship

The CardioThoracic Imaging Fellowship is a one-year non-ACGME accredited training program. The University of Missouri accepts one fellow per year.

The University of Missouri Cardiothoracic fellowship provides advanced training in all aspects of imaging. This includes the interpretation of imaging studies such as radiographs, CT, MRI and PET imaging. Cardiac CT and MRI is included throughout the fellowship. Training will include light interventional thoracic procedures such as thoracentesis, biopsies and drainages. The fellow is to participate in multidisciplinary conferences with the departments of Pulmonary Medicine, Cardiovascular Surgery and Pathology. Dedicated academic time if provided for research and educational projects. Lastly, the fellow is expected to participate in the education of residents and medical students.
