Key Accomplishments
- The Department of Diagnostic Imaging released the first issue of their newsletter in December 2007. Since then, the "Inside View" continues to keep all staff members informed and up to date. The newsletter has staff updates, upcoming conferences, reminders, publications, and other additional information that may be submitted from other individuals within the Department.
- The Observership program continues to attract over 60 applications per year. The Coordinator processes the applications making sure that all criteria are met.
- Our Residency Coordinator works with the Residency Program Director ensuring that all criteria for the rotating residents coming to DI are met. From organizing their orientation and training, to scheduling their daily shifts, she provides the residents with the administrative support they require to complete their rotation.
- Our Fellowship program has evolved over the past year with a total of 70 applications applying for 13 funded fellowship positions and eight self-funded positions. The administrative team processes all these applications and coordinates all interviews for these candidates. Most recently, the Fellowship Program underwent successful review and accreditation by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.'
